Hi Stars!
We hit 50 episodes with this one. Thank you to every one of you for subscribing, sharing and encouraging me to do this. Really 🙏
On the blockbuster 50th episode, I chat with my friend and mentor, Rahul. Junglee Games has seen tremendous success in eights years since founding in 2012, with millions of users across multiple skill based games on Web and Mobile. Junglee today has over 25 million users and clocks more than $600M GMV.
Prior to Junglee Games, Rahul was the co founder and product guy at TwoMangoes.com, a leading dating site for South Asians, and Vayyoo, a web to mobile solutions company, both of which he successfully exited.
This episode is full of interesting nuggets about gaming, biohacking & Naval Ravikant.
Do spread the love not the germs.
