If calendars had personalities, Sparkeey would be the life of the party. No longer just a grid of dates, Sparkeey emerges with a splash of color and a flair for fashion.
Asha Nico Venkataramani, the app's creator, designed it to organize meetings and mingle with today's cultural icons. "Sparkeey isn't just for planning your day; it's about celebrating it," she explains.
Launched in London, Sparkeey has already received nominations for three global innovation awards and has everyone marking their calendars. Sparkeey is a kaleidoscope that meets your daily scheduling needs with style. Ranking #255 in the UK App Store, it is expected to swipe the spotlight with its upcoming marketing blitz in 2024-25.

Nico has hinted at rolling out some revolutionary AI based business and social networking features soon.
