"Every paw has a story. Desi Woofs is my way of making sure street dogs no longer go unheard."
I am the founder of GameChangersIndia and Desi Woofs Studios, based in Somnath, Gujarat. My passion lies at the intersection of high-fidelity game development and real-world social impact.
When I'm not designing cooperative puzzle adventures or pitching concepts like "Sermon", you can find me hosting global gaming leaders on my podcast, or advocating for the Indian gamedev community on international stages like SXSW.
I started The Indian GameDev Show when I was in the 10th grade with a simple goal—bringing insightful conversations from the gaming industry to aspiring developers in India.
Over time, the podcast grew into a platform where I have hosted over 25 international guests, including industry executives from Xbox, Makers Fund, and Jetapult.
Representing the Indian gaming community on a prestigious international stage.
SXSW Sydney 2024 was a defining moment in my journey as a game developer and social entrepreneur. Over the course of the event, I delivered three impactful talks.
Shared the stage with Rhea Gupte to deep dive into the evolving Indian gaming ecosystem and the creative synergy behind Desi Woofs.
Beyond my talks, it was an incredible networking opportunity. I had the privilege of meeting the CEO of Twitch and other influential figures, discussing ways to bridge gaps between Indian developers and international markets.
