Gunjan Poddar

Hi, I'm Gunjan, a NIFT Delhi graduate and mommy to a little adventurer! After 15 years of work experience in fashion accessory design and working with my family's export business, I took a break to focus on raising my child. But the entrepreneurial spirit never left me! Playful Plunge was born from my desire to create products that bring joy to moms and their little ones. Here, I lead the Research, Design and New Product Development, pouring my passion and experience into every creation to enrich families' lives.

Co-Founder

Pranav Poddar

Hi, I'm Pranav, an Industrial Engineering graduate from Purdue University, USA. With over 20 years of experience in the USA and India, I've co-founded two successful companies: one of India's largest Robotic and Automated Car Parking Solutions Company, and a leading Health-Tech & Wellness Company. In 2020, I founded Ikigai Ventures and started Angel Investing. While having invested in a few startups over the last few years, there was a strong desire to start something new in the D2C space. This led to the creation of our new brand - Playful Plunge. Here I oversee Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, and Operations. Together with our energetic team, we are dedicated to bringing more joy into the lives of parents and children.


The inspiration behind Playful Plunge is our son, Aarav! As our Chief Creative Officer, he brings boundless imagination and joy to our designs. Every product is developed and produced only after it receives his enthusiastic approval. 😊
