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."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
