Built by players, for players
PlaayUp started because our own badminton group was a mess. WhatsApp arguments, manual spreadsheets, and one very frustrated treasurer. We decided to fix it.
The origin story
Every Tuesday and Thursday, our core group of 10 hit the courts in Bengaluru. We loved the game. But every session ended the same way — someone had to collect money, someone had forgotten cash, and the group chat turned into a 200-message argument about who owed ₹150 from three weeks ago.
We tried Splitwise. It doesn't understand sessions or attendance. We tried spreadsheets. Our non-tech group members hated it. We tried just trusting everyone. That ended in someone leaving the group.
So we built PlaayUp — a purpose-built app for exactly this: recurring sports groups in India that need session management, expense tracking, and frictionless UPI payments all in one place.
Our mission
Make group sports in India purely about the game — not the logistics, the money, or the drama.
What we believe in
Radical transparency
Every rupee in the group fund is tracked, timestamped, and visible to all members. No one touches money without a record.
Zero friction
Phone OTP login, one-tap UPI payments, no manual calculations. If it requires more than 2 taps, we redesign it.
India-first
Built for UPI, designed for Indian courts, priced at zero. We're not porting a Western app — we're building for Bharat.
Trust by design
Immutable ledgers, atomic database operations, and verifiable UTR codes. Trust is a system property, not a social one.
