Abhir Das 🔜 GamingCon 🇮🇳 — Founder
Founder | Gamer for Life | Building the Future “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.” - Steve Jobs I began with a camera, choosing filmmaking when most chose “security.” Storytelling demanded risk, and filmmaking taught me craft, patience, and discipline. It also forced me into pitching — selling ideas, facing rejection, and learning to turn no’s into yes. That’s where I discovered something unexpected: the salesman in me. But long before the camera, there was the console. Gaming shaped how I thought about creativity, competition, and persistence. It gave me the instinct to play, to learn, to keep trying until I mastered the level. So when the chance came to join a startup, I took the leap. No incorporation papers. No safety net. Just conviction. We built that idea into a $500M company. That journey taught me how to sell vision before product, to build trust before proof, and to create value from nothing. After exiting, I worked across Japan and the UAE, consulting global projects and learning how cultures and markets shape innovation. Those lessons prepared me for my next chapter: PlaySuper. I started PlaySuper because I believe India won’t just participate in the global gaming ecosystem — it will define it. With its young, ambitious population and deep gaming culture, India is ready to leave a permanent mark. I am a builder, a risk-taker, an optimist. Filmmaking gave me storytelling. Gaming gave me resilience. Startups gave me scale. And today, I’m here to create what lasts.
