Our Mission
We strive for greatness. This means we want our games studio to be the first globally competitive company built in India that can compete against the world's most prominent players, like Timi Tencent, Supercell, and Activision Blizzard.
Greatness will be defined by taking on difficult challenges and relentlessly pursuing excellence.
We seek greatness in the products we build (initially games), but more importantly in our people and the organization we build. We are not there yet, and we seek an exceptional team member who can help us achieve global competitiveness.
