From The Big Bang Theory to App Founder

App Marketing by App Masters

What happens when Raj trades cosmic conversations for app ideas and startups?

In this episode, we’re joined by Kunal Nayyar, best known for his role as Raj in The Big Bang Theory. Today, he’s here not as an actor, but as an app founder.

When Kunal found himself scrambling to help his parents travel from India to the U.S. during COVID-19, sifting through endless emails, files, and forms—he realized something powerful: there was no single place to keep everything important organized when it mattered most.

That “aha!” moment led to IQ121, a beautifully designed app built to help families stay connected, prepared, and in control, no matter what life throws at them.

Kunal shares his full journey, from the app idea to launch, and what’s next for IQ121. You’ll hear how a real-life family emergency inspired a global app idea, learn how to create purposeful apps, and discover how app technology can truly support and strengthen families.

PS: Raj might blush around new people, but Kunal’s ready to talk apps - LIVE 😄

You will discover:

✅The real story behind IQ121 and how one family emergency sparked a global idea

✅Why founders should solve problems they’ve actually lived through

✅The growing trend of “family-first tech” and why it’s the next big app category

✅What’s next for IQ121 and how Kunal’s creative background shapes its mission
