OnePlay has brought on Akshat Rathee, co-founder of NODWIN Gaming, as a strategic investor and advisory board member. Rathee’s entry brings substantial industry experience and expertise as OnePlay pushes for a stronger foothold in cloud gaming amid rising demand.
With over 20 years in the gaming and esports sector, Rathee has expanded NODWIN Gaming into Asia’s largest esports company, building an international footprint across the Middle East and Europe. As a seasoned entrepreneur and the Managing Director and Co-founder of NODWIN Gaming, Akshat Rathee brings a powerful combination of industry knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit to OnePlay. Throughout his career, he has founded over 20 companies across diverse fields such as consulting, clean energy, sports tech, and gaming, showcasing his broad and adaptable business expertise.
