About

With a robust background in engineering and an MBA from IIM Indore, my journey at Games24x7 has been marked by data-driven marketing strategies that propelled significant monthly and annual revenue growths. As Associate Director, I led a diverse team, harnessing digital and social media marketing skills to fine-tune customer retention and maximize revenue. Our analytical approach, honed through rigorous A/B testing, allows us to scale successful campaigns adeptly. This blend of technical and managerial expertise, coupled with an in-depth understanding of customer behavior in the gaming industry, drove success at Games24x7. My latest role within the company saw me lead planning of brand campaigns and strong user acquisition driving promotional offers.
