Shihab Muhammed, CEO & Co-founder, SurveySparrow

“The idea for SurveySparrow sprang from my own habit of putting off surveys because the unoriginal survey questionnaire failed to engage me. We wanted to create a better platform for surveys that is more engaging with higher survey completion rates. We are bullish on customer experience becoming a crucial decision point in choosing the right service, with the world moves towards a subscription service economy. We believe customer experience will be the biggest factor influencing buying decisions and we want to offer the best-in-class experience at a fraction of what it would cost to our global counterparts.”
