home > about | The Geeks

	Siddharth Banerjee Sid, the founder and Geek-in-Chief of Indusgeeks, comes from the proven pedigree of college drop-outs. A compulsive Internet entrepreneur and dreamer, he thinks that it's time that India created its own Google - a first-in-its-class international brand, working on the cutting edge of Internet and New Media technology. To this end, he started Indusgeeks back in April 2007. Sid believes serious games are set to revolutionize the way we communicate and interact with the world around us. He is on the Second Life Solution Providers' Council, a Global Ambassador for the Association of Virtual Worlds and the Official Holder of the Largest Chair in the Office.
	Geetha Ramakrishnan Geetha is a Chartered Accountant, Cost Accountant and C.P.A. Having her on our Board of Directors lends much balance to the team. She has over 12 years of experience working for PWC (San Francisco), Oracle, ACS-Inc (Bangalore), etc. in areas as varied as Assurance, Finance and Off-shoring Operations.
	Ashima Misri Having been with Indusgeeks even before it was incorporated, Ashima is our backbone. With a double Masters in Sociology and Business Administration, she handles Business Development and Operations. Between client meetings, looming deadlines and sleepless nights, Ashi holds a tightly held secret to expanding time, thus managing us all!
	Ashish Dinkar Tech head Ashish is passionate about virtual world technology and food. By the time he was 21, he had already created his own game engine, multiplayer flash & java games and broken or crashed into a few thousand incidental objects! Bursting with ideas, energy and muffins, he's the geek you want on board through crazy deadlines and all-nighters!
	Shuchi Talati Shuchi is a part of the core founding team at Indusgeeks. She is passionate about Almodovar, films in general and healer rights (see World of Warcraft). Initially our machinima director, currently studying to be a Director at the American Film Institute (L.A.), Shuchi still works with the Geeks on important projects, virtually.
	Aditya Rajguru A fine arts graduate with training in 3D design, Aditya is uniquely gifted. His fantastic lighting techniques coupled with unusual structures and great texturing, make his stamp on designs unmistakable.
	Reuben Das Comic-book enthusiast Benny is an Animator, 3D modeller and texturing artist. Quick to understand and experiment with new techniques, this laconic designer is hard to separate from his computer. Especially since his free time involves studying the minutiae of Team Fortress techniques in order to put an end to Prasad's winning streak!
	Jyoti Bhoir As part of team 3D, Jyoti's our character modeller, responsible for breathing life into the characters and avatars for our games. She moonlights as a true geek, spending her free time training to be a Sensei of all 3d design software, sustained on a nourishing diet of chocolate. And chocolate.
	Namita Mohandas Having graduated in Applied Art with a specialisation in typography & information design, Namita is our Interactive media designer. A self-proclaimed hair-cutter, equipped with a bag full of odd pop culture references and an excessively over-active imagination, she ensures that we always have a visualiser at hand, as well as someone who'll laugh at our bad jokes & unlucky pitfalls.
	Sachin Hande Sachin is one of the fresh geeks. Responsible for the Animation and GUI system implementations on our games, he's coming along to become one of our core Unity 3D developers. He (unlike Prasad) eats a lot. And when you eat a lot, you inadvertently step on Sid's gluttonous side (which also happens to be his mean side).
	Prasad Amberkar Prasad is new, sits in the Tech corner, designs and implements modular game architecture frameworks with a keen focus on AI and physics concepts. He almost never eats at work (except maybe an odd slice of pizza on Gaming Saturday and packets full of saunf) and is the resident savant on Team Fortress 2.
	Deepak Bhadane Better known as Dips, Champs, Champak, Bob and well, Deepak - he is the most sought after member on our team. With a constant grin on his face, he caters to each one of our whims & fancies, even though we bully him to no end.
