Discover why Video SDK is the top choice for customers
Ankur Chandra-Engineering Manager at Fynd
Company Logo

“I still remember when I was trying out the product and connected over discord with Arjun Kava, and he immediately responded. It is one of the things that we found less often. The team is super enthusiastic to make the product as next big thing. Easy integration is the beauty of it. Few lines of code and it's done.”
