My Journey
E-SPORTS PLAYER | COMMUNITY MANAGER | SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN MANAGER
I began my journey in the digital and gaming ecosystem through esports, where I started as an organizer and quickly grew into a Community Manager for Dota in Hyderabad and later for the broader state-level gaming community. During this time, I not only conducted multiple esports tournaments across local gaming cafés but also competed and secured wins — combining strategic planning with hands-on experience.
As I transitioned into design and digital media, I immersed myself in influencer marketing for multiplayer cricket games, collaborating with content creators and overseeing in-game campaigns, community engagement, and YouTube uploads. My role involved managing campaign points, influencer strategy, and optimizing performance.
One of my most impactful projects was with Dark Arrival, where I led the creation of teasers, promos, and keyword-optimized posts. My strategic content rollout helped scale the YouTube channel from 85 to 1.29K subscribers and grew Instagram from 250 to over 6K followers. Additionally, two of my Reddit posts went viral, amassing 650K+ cumulative impressions and over 1,000 comments — a testament to my ability to craft content that resonates at scale.
