Founder: 2op.gg | Gamer at heart & Entrepreneur by Profession | Strategy Maestro, Digital & Paper Marketer | Creator: JOYNNJOY - Gam'O'Verse | Dream, Hard work, Sacrifice, Struggle, Faith, Patience & Passion

I am a gamer by passion and an entrepreneur by profession. Gaming, esports, technology, and entrepreneurship drive me to wake up each day and work towards realizing the dream of building an all-inclusive game tech company.

Although I studied half of my engineering academically, I mastered the art of rejection through experience, facing numerous investor turn-downs. I excel at believing in myself, striving towards my goal, and leading my team to build this incredible ecosystem.

I have always wanted to merge my profession and passion, creating a robust community driven towards excellence. Marketing and strategy-making fascinate me, pushing me to learn something new each day as I strive to create 2op.gg. As the founder and visionary CEO of 2op.gg, I am inspired by the vision to establish a cutting-edge game tech company.

I have worked as a marketing and strategy consultant for various gaming cafes and businesses, both professionally and as a hobby. My areas of expertise include marketing, strategy development, and core management. Coming from a middle-class family, I place a high value on every paisa saved and earned. Despite my lack of formal education and experience, mentors and others have guided and taught me throughout my entrepreneurial journey. I've always enjoyed gaming and have both participated in and organized tournaments. Cricket, football, and other sports have captivated me since elementary school.

As the creator of JOYNNJOY, Gam'O'Verse, and 2op.gg, I believe esports provides me with entertainment, emotion, and a reason to be alive. In my opinion, it is the sixth element of the universe.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
