FOUR ROLES. ONE OPERATOR.
R-01
Gamer
Competitive FPS across CS2, Valorant and Overwatch; semi-pro in Call of Duty: Warzone (Nvidia India tournaments, 2021 to 2023).
R-02
Cosplayer
Active cosplayer, building my own costumes and props (EVA foam, LEDs, electronics), talent-side and on stage. I source and run cosplay talent across India, on the ground or remotely.
R-03
Creator
Twitch Affiliate · streamer & content creator as Captain Cross.
R-04
Community Lead
Built and ran BlueStacks India’s Discord community and its 12-member moderation team; active in gaming communities since 2016.
// PRIMARY FUNCTION
Live Activations & Event Ops
The professional throughline that ties all four together: gamer, cosplayer, creator and community lead converging into creator-led activations from college campuses to 50,000+ footfall expos, with the talent run on the ground or remotely.
// FIELD DOCTRINE
The rare seat on the brand side that has been the gamer, the cosplayer, the creator, and the community lead.
I read every creator brief the way the talent will, because I have been the talent.
// COMMENDATIONS
