Serious Purpose. Seriously Fun Learning.

Hey there! I’m Srikanth — the mind and heart behind playopto 👋 I’m an optometrist, educator, and PhD candidate who’s always believed learning shouldn’t be boring or bound only to textbooks. That’s why playopto was born — a space where eye-care knowledge gets a glow-up through games that are fun, visual, and designed for how we actually learn today. Right now, I’m doing my PhD at the University of New South Wales, exploring how clinical skills are assessed in real-world optometry. It’s deep stuff — but transforming all that into short, sharp, interactive games? That’s what keeps it real and exciting. playopto wouldn’t exist without the support of some amazing people. Big thanks to my mentors, Dr Avinash Pathengay and Mr Kartic Vaidyanathan, for introducing me to game-based learning. And a huge shoutout to Tim McCann in Sydney — his belief in this idea and advice to turn it into a business was the push I needed. Super grateful! To my core support crew — my brother Dr Vinod Maseedupally and his family, my wife Sushma, and my son Anirshrith — your love and belief fuel this journey every single day. Thanks for stopping by! Hang tight — fun’s on its way. Jump in, explore the games, and let your brain level up — the playopto way. Play. Learn. Retain. Refresh. ✨ Srikanth Maseedupalli Founder – playopto
