In this latest episode of Figuring Out, we are in conversation with the Mafias of the gaming world in India - Animesh AKA Thug and Tanmay Singh AKA Sc0ut.
Being the pioneer of E-sports in India, Animesh & Scout share with us their journey of making it to the top in the field of gaming. Animesh explains how he was the first one to pay a salary to gamers in India and what made him give up on his CA & CFA career over gaming.
Scout shares his experience of gaming tournaments and paints a picture of how India is perceived internationally when it comes to gaming and they explain what is the scope of the field in terms of money, position & sustainability.
With so much that he has already achieved and so much that they are yet to explore, we have gone deeper in conversations discussing everything under the umbrella of metaverse & virtual world. So, make sure you watch the episode till the end!

As an tech entrepreneur I've seen a lot of your videos with really big names in the industry but I never watched an entire podcast from beginning to end after a point it just felt disconnected because most of the stuff we experience already. This video really made me reconsider my thoughts on gaming because these guys were so e energetic that I watched this entire thing. There philosophies were so clear and absolutely loved where they are headed. I don't do gaming at all but this was actually one of the most entertaining and inspiring podcasts on this channel when we consider the growth story of the Indian middle class.
