Product Manager – Platform Business at Krafton India

About

I build products, teams, and communities with a focus on gaming, growth, and long-term impact. With over 8 years of experience across gaming, esports, and digital platforms, I’ve worked hands-on across product strategy, execution, operations, and go-to-market. At Qlan, I co-founded and led the product as Chief Product Officer. We built a gaming first platform that brought players, creators, and publishers together. I worked across product vision, delivery, team ops, and growth shaping the platform from the ground up alongside a sharp, driven team. Earlier in my journey, I handled esports operations at JioGames and competed internationally in Clash Royale representing India, captaining national teams, and becoming the first Indian to play in the Clash Royale League. I'm now looking to be part of teams that care about what they’re building, who they’re building for, and why it matters.
