About

I’m presently working as a game producer on word games. Experienced in handling teams aligned on a vision, and creating a path for them to succeed. Handling expectations from stakeholders and managing execution is part of my day to day routine. I am a graduate from National Defence Academy and have an undying interest in fiction, history, aviation, gaming, crosswords, human behaviour and motorbikes. I also have more than 6+ years of experience in editing and creating quality content. Further, I have also worked intensively with tech startups on leveraging the content in a profitable manner through Organic Means & on social media platforms. My experience in the military and training at the academy gives me leadership skills to manage teams and keep them motivated for a cause. My understanding of social media platforms spans over a period of 7 years, and I understand all target groups right from the millennials to the higher-level decision-makers. I have worked on content in various genres right from short stories, screenplays, tech blogs, white papers, product descriptions, SEO rich content to quality web content. I worked on Crosswords with Playsimple games. I audited end to end Crosswords from grid creation, clue writing and exporting them into a suitable format apart from analysing their metrics to see player engagement and monetisation. Ethics, punctuality and honesty is something I’m proud of and hope to continue on the same path thanks to my military bearing.
