Dr. Rushindra Sinha.

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 Health Care Leader program, from design thinking to personal leadership, completed in 2017. Self-teaching code from zero while holding a medical degree. I wanted to be dangerous with both.

In 2017 I started Global Esports, India's first VC-backed esports organization. It ran as a proprietorship under my own name for the first year; I incorporated the company and moved the business over by November 2018. 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 2026 we won VCT Pacific Stage 2 and qualified for VALORANT Champions for the first time. Alongside that: 100M+ personal views across platforms, 5B+ generated for creators and brands, two TEDx stages, first place at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival and second place at the Beijing film festival with Mohit, and national rankings in inline speed skating.

Today I build AI systems in public. Ares, my own AI operating system, runs my companies from a Discord command centre, and most of what I ship now starts as a voice note.
