The show is anchored by Suresh Venkat, an inveterate gizmo shopaholic, and Ankit Vengurlekar, an uncompromising technoholic, and Shruti Rajkumar, a curious and happy camper reporting on technology. High on entertainment quotient and pleasantly low on geeky jargon, the show offers a mercilessly candid review of gizmos and gadgets and gives a succinct verdict on whether the technology is worth the consumers money. The outrageous humor and the bizarre choice of locations sets the show apart from other shows of the same genre. Anchoring irreverently out of pubs, bars, rundown mills, beauty salons, and swimming pools, the show exudes attitude and flamboyance.
