At Riot Games, I served as Marketing Lead for India and South Asia, helping shape publishing and regional business strategies. I worked with agencies on go-to-market plans and provided direction for product brand marketing and content across the player journey.

At Reliance Jio, I led the games ecosystem across feature phones, smartphones, set-top boxes, cloud gaming, VR, and eSports. Earlier, as Country Manager for India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh at Gameloft, I managed and grew business across OEMs, carriers, advertising, app stores, and D2C, and helped establish its advertising business in India.

I started in gaming as a Graphic Artist, creating and animating graphics for mobile games, then moved into game design and publishing. At Reliance Games, I contributed to reaching the No. 2 publisher position on Nokia Store and to 100% growth in telecom VAS and ad revenue.
