About Nitin Bagde

As a process-oriented and data-driven technology leader with over 21 years of experience in Game Development and Telecom, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to build and lead high-performance teams that deliver exceptional results. My career is marked by the successful management of teams that supported a DAU exceeding 5 million users, contributing to an ARR of $125 million. My expertise lies in Mobile Game Development, where I have navigated various open-source and legacy tech stacks to manage live services for titles such as Plants vs. Zombies, Bejeweled, Need for Speed, and Real Racing. My leadership has been instrumental in cultivating an engineering culture rooted in technical innovation, pioneering spirit, and cross-team collaboration. This culture has not only driven our teams to excel but has also earned them recognition and accolades in our organization’s flagship events. I have played a critical role in shaping engineering strategies and forming co-development teams for major titles like Battlefield Mobile, Need for Speed No Limits, and Real Racing. My contributions have also been key to the continued success of iconic franchises such as Plants vs. Zombies, Bejeweled, Tetris, NBA, The Sims Mobile, and FIFA (FC). I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in game development and committed to fostering environments where creativity and technical excellence thrive.
