Vaibhav Chavan Wishlist MUKTI — Founder
I’m a Game Director, Founder of underDOGS, and the creative lead behind MUKTI - a premium narrative console & PC game backed by Sony. Over the last 14+ years, I’ve built one of India’s longest-running independent game studios, shipped 250+ games, mentored thousands of aspiring developers, and spoken at 100+ national & international events. I’ve worked across mobile, PC, console, live-service games, branded IPs, original IPs, and now — global narrative-driven premium titles. Today, I focus on three core things: - Building global-quality gaming IPs (MUKTI & beyond) - Coaching game developers, creators, founders, and students - Advising studios, startups, and investors on product, IP, and growth I’m known for being honest, practical, and deeply rooted in real-world game development - not theory. I share behind-the-scenes lessons from shipping games, running studios, building teams, surviving tough years, and aiming to create world-class entertainment from emerging markets. If you’re looking for coaching, consulting, sponsorships, partnerships, speaking, publishing discussions, or strategic collaborations, feel free to reach out.
