About

Building global products in the sports, gaming, and entertainment space. Proven track record of growing & managing platforms serving 1M+ people in 160+ countries. Read more about me below: Ever since I was a child, I have loved sports and gaming. I fondly remember playing as many sports & games as possible and eagerly awaiting to feel the thrill of watching live sport & playing video games. Initially, I went on to have a conventional education in business, commerce, finance, and stats as I always liked and had an aptitude for numbers & maths, before commencing my professional career. I worked in a demanding business environment for a couple of years. However, I never lost touch with sports or my enthusiasm for it. I would even regularly stay up to watch late-night football matches. While working I realised what Iโ€™m good at doing, but also that Iโ€™m best suited for a career in the sports industry as sports is what I think about & look forward to constantly. As I realised my true calling is sports, I decided to build my career in the Sports Industry by first pursuing my postgraduate studies in Sports Management from the Global Institute of Sports Business in partnership with UMass Amherst, Mark H. McCormack Department of Sport Management. My valuable education & experiences have allowed me to learn important skills & develop the confidence needed to succeed in a competitive environment. Two of my dream jobs were working in sports and gaming, which I've done and would like to continue doing. Vintage-styled Apparel & Merchandise is something else that I love to see and wear which is why I founded Midfield Merchandise! I've worked as a PM in the sports & gaming industry for 2.5 years and look to continue learning & growing in this field. I'm now pursuing my MBA in Technology & Business Management from Masters' Union as I aim to further my skillset & gain a holistic education. Key Competencies: โž• PDLC, Product Roadmapping, Feasibility Analysis, Scope Management, Agile Methodologies, Stakeholder Management, Customer Insights, Competitive Analysis, Prototype Development, Operational Excellence, Reusable Playbook Development, Gamification Tools: ๐Ÿ”˜ Jira, Figma, Google Analytics, Tableau, SQL, MS Office Suite, Data Viz, UX Testing & Feedback, Database Management, GenAI Key Achievements: โœ… Managing projects worth several crores Contact me at tbmdevavrat.bhotica@mastersunion.org to discuss how I might contribute & add value to your organisation.
