About Manu Gambhir

Manu’s passion with game development began in his teenage years when he first started developing games on the venerable Commodore 64 using 300-baud modems. He built some of the world’s earliest multiplayer online games, and his earliest games grew to a customer base of roughly two dozen players.

After university, he developed one of the world’s first online casinos, which served to grow his fascination with data-driven game and product design, as well as his enthusiasm for the underlying technology that powers all aspects of gaming. His companies and products have entertained millions of players over the years, winning numerous awards along the way.

Over the course of several ventures, his passion for games development evolved into a passion for building, leading and investing in great teams – which is where his energy is focused today (except for when he is busy playing bullet chess). Manu is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with degrees from the Wharton School and the Engineering School.
