Your host: Priya
Desi warmth
Priya hosts the way a great onboarding trainer does: clear, patient, encouraging. She's the default host for Trivana's employee-onboarding pack and a strong fit for classroom-style trivia where the point is to teach, not just test.
Creators pick Priya when the audience is new to the topic — new hires, students, community members being introduced to something for the first time. Her voice lowers the social cost of a wrong answer, which keeps players engaged past question three instead of dropping off.
