Mobile Global Esports Inc (MOGO), a mobile e-sports and social platform-based start-up, has onboarded the former trustee of Princeton University, Rishi Jaitly, as its chief strategic advisor. 

Jaitly earlier founded Times Bridge, a venture capital firm in the US that invested in companies including Airbnb, Coursera, Headspace and Uber. 

Prior to Times Bridge, Jaily worked as the vice president of Twitter for the Asia Pacific, Middle East and North African region. He was the first employee of the company in mainland Asia. Additionally, he was the head of public affairs for Google and YouTube in South Asia.

“I’m delighted to align with MOGO as an advisor and support its wide mission of unlocking the full esports potential of Indians in a competitive university context. An India in which young people have more opportunities to lean into the widest range of their sporting identities is a better India and a stronger world,” Jaitly said while addressing his decision to join the company.

“Rishi brings extraordinary skills, an unmatched reputation and singular experience to the MOGO team, his unique blend of corporate, financial and academic experiences, combined with proven success in bridging the U.S. and Indian markets, will enhance our growing company. We look forward to the support Rishi will provide our team as we build on our esports exclusivity with over 800 Indian universities,” David Pross, chief executive officer of MOGO, added.
