Dr. Rushindra

Sinha.

Founder.

Games found me at two — first plays on a hospital computer, borrowed time between a parent's rounds. By 2008 I was running Phoenix RO, a Ragnarok Online private server with thousands of active players. At 18, I developed and sold my first game commercially. I learned what it meant to build products people live inside before anyone called it a career.

I completed my MBBS at D.Y. Patil Medical College, Navi Mumbai in 2014. I was already experimenting — using Google Glass to live-stream surgeries, one of the first in India to do so. But the pull toward building was too strong. San Francisco. A 480-hour full-stack bootcamp at General Assembly. Stanford GSB's Innovative Healthcare Leadership program. Self-teaching code from zero while holding a medical degree. I wanted to be dangerous with both.

In 2017 I co-founded Global Esports — India's first VC-backed esports organization. We won the Valorant Conqueror Championship. Riot Games selected us as one of 10 permanent VCT Pacific franchise partners globally. We stayed profitable while 18+ Indian esports competitors shut down in 2024. Alongside that: 100M+ personal views across platforms, 5B+ generated for creators and brands, two TEDx stages, a contribution to a Tribeca Film Festival-winning film, and national rankings in inline speed skating. Today I build AI-native products, creator infrastructure, and the systems that let me operate at scale.
