Riddhik Kochhar Appointed as CEO of SpatialChat Post-Acquisition by QuestionPro
San Francisco, CA — December 23, 2024 — In a move to transform virtual collaboration and engagement, QuestionPro, a global leader in research and experience management technology, has acquired SpatialChat, a European video streaming platform.
Serving over 6 million users over 169 countries, SpatialChat is trusted by leading organizations such as Google, McDonald’s, McKinsey & Company, Amgen, Harvard University, MIT, and many more.
This strategic acquisition will add value to QuestionPro’s existing Qualitative Research and Customer Experience platforms while expanding SpatialChat’s footprint beyond Europe into the U.S. and global markets.
SpatialChat will integrate with QuestionPro to enable advanced market analytics and digital engagement capabilities, unlocking deeper insights and expanded functionality.
“SpatialChat has developed a distinctive, interactive platform for virtual collaboration, delivering measurable value to remote teams, event organizers, and online educators by driving engagement and productivity,” said Vivek Bhaskaran, CEO of QuestionPro.
New Capabilities, Broader Horizons
QuestionPro has injected fresh capital into SpatialChat that enables the platform to integrate advanced AI capabilities, driving enhanced engagement and conversions for virtual events and online education. By analyzing real-time attendee data, the platform optimizes event structures, personalized content, and provides actionable insights to improve user experiences. “Our AI agents enable highly customized networking experiences, with our algorithm providing personalized matchmaking recommendations to each attendee,” said Riddhik Kochhar, CEO of SpatialChat.
Additionally, AI-powered automation creates one-click content for social media, streamlining B2B marketing efforts and boosting brand visibility. With seamless integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, and other platforms, we deliver personalized engagement that drives deeper connections and maximizes event ROI.
Creating the Future of Digital Interaction
SpatialChat will also be integrating with Apple Vision Pro and Meta's Ray-Ban Stories to transform virtual events and online education. These immersive tools will provide interactive, personalized experiences that enhance user engagement and learning outcomes, positioning SpatialChat at the forefront of the $180 billion AR/VR collaboration market by 2030.
Unlike Zoom and other legacy platforms, SpatialChat delivers a more dynamic, interactive, and immersive experience for virtual events, collaboration, and online learning.
Leadership Transition and Focus on Growth
As part of the acquisition, SpatialChat has announced its new leadership team, with Riddhik Kochhar as CEO and James Park as CRO, who will focus on driving market expansion and sales growth across North America.
