Senior Game Designer at GSN Games

Game:
-
BINGO BASH - An all-time top 10 Casino game with 1 Million DAU.
-
I was a part of Bingo Bash since (almost) the beginning of its development.
-
With a DAU of 1 Million, every design decision shapes the fate of the game in a certain way, making it extremely crucial to make the right choices.
-
A live game needs engaging fresh content and I created more than 15 unique game mechanics that kept the players engaged throughout the 3 week content cycle.
-
I also designed features like, Collection Mechanics, FTUE and Lobby Redesign to improve the retention of the game which in-turn improved the monetisation of the app.
-
The experience design and accessibility of the app was core to all the design decisions i took as the game was targeted to 35+ Women.
-
I led a 3 member design team that was considered to be the most passionate team that took ownership of the product.
Game Designer at Bharti SoftBank
August 2012 - April 2013

At BSB, we aimed to make mobile games for the Indian Audience. I was designing a game set in the early days of colonization in India.

It was a multiplayer social game similar to Mafia Wars combined with some elements of strategy.
Game Designer at Lakshya Digital
October 2010 - April 2012
Games:
Astromon, DinoLand, Find Rusty's Biscuits, Super Skater, Xtreme Racers, Little Zippie, Hero Academy and many more fun filled casual educational games.
-
Qualcomm and EduComp's joint venture - Project Zeebo was an attempt at introducing an educational console for Indian Kids.
-
My first job and the start-up nature of the studio enabled us to explore and build genre defining games in 2010 when the mobile penetration had just started.
-
I built over 15-20 games along with a strategy for the console which had its own limitation. The games were mainly focused on imparting some sort of education to the players.
