The Story of Becoming

A friendship that began in childhood has developed into something very precious. The idea of creating Global Esports was just a thought in the minds of Mohit and Rushindra. The moment these two best childhood friends decided to take a step towards realization, they never thought that it would lead them to the founding of Global Esports GE and change their lives forever.

One of the main heroes in the story of the development of Global Esports GE is Mohit Israney, a filmmaker by profession and a gamer by passion. With more than twelve years of experience in the film industry, Mohit has won numerous awards for his films, unique content, and various video genres.

As a child, he and his best friend, Rushindra Sinha, shared a dream that one day they would participate in esports tournaments and form their own competition team. Rushindra Sinha is a medical doctor by profession, a gamer by passion, and the owner of a women's hospital in Bandra, Mumbai.

The story of setting the foundations of Global Esports (GE) begins in Rushindra's small garage, where, along with Mohit and several other friends, they met and played video games for fun. Esport was something they both thought about a lot and had a strong desire for. Following their own dreams, Mohit (aka Tsuki) and Rushindra (aka Salbatic) have always had that little spark that lit their way to realizing their shared dream.

While both had their own jobs, Mohit Israney and Rushindra Sinha often met and discussed the possibility of taking the next step towards creating a GE. And so, by organizing a simple watch party, Global Esports begins to count down its first moments of progress.

All About Global Esports

From hobbies and interests to one of the most powerful organizations in Esport, and from zeros to heroes of their own story called Global Esports GE, Mohit and Rushindra are the main characters in the story of the company’s founding.

Global Esports is a professional Esports organization founded by Mohit Israney and Rushindra Sinha. The GE organization has teams in Dota 2, PUBG, CS: GO, Fortnite, Overwatch, PUBGM, and Rainbow Six: Siege. Global Esports GE has twelve teams worldwide, holding nine titles. All of these teams have achieved over forty victories at various esports competitions on an international level.

Global Sports was born in 2017 in Mumbai, India. The strongest point of this organization is the creation of innovative gaming content. Because one of the company's founders is a professional filmmaker, their content is always of the highest quality.

Thanks to the hard work of Mohit and Rushinda at Global Esports, the company is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world of esports. This organization acts as a talent incubator and helps newcomers improve and become shining stars in the sport.

The first competitive list of Global Esports included Overwatch, managing to stand out as the strongest Indian team, and became one of the most powerful gaming teams in Asia. Their popularity grew quickly, and it served as an inspiration to many esports players.

Mohit and Rushindra never thought that the progress of their organization would happen so fast and that they would become so popular and successful in the fast-growing realm of esports. In 2018, both Mohit and Rushindra decided to quit their jobs and devote their time entirely to esports. It was their decision that changed their lives and formed Global Esports as one of the best esports organizations in the world.

Later, in the second round of funding, Venture Catalysts invested $563K in Global Esports.
