Voices of Aaryavarta: Employees Who Built the Dream

When people talk about companies, they often talk about what they built. But at Aaryavarta Technologies, the more important story is who built it.

As Aaryavarta celebrates 10 years of creative and technical excellence, the spotlight turns inward — to the employees who turned a startup into a company, and a company into a community. Some joined as freshers. Some stayed through uncertainty. Many found not just careers, but belonging.

“Without this team, Aaryavarta wouldn’t exist. It’s not a line — it’s a fact,” says Nilesh Gawade, Co-founder. “This is their story just as much as ours.”

More Than a Job — A Journey

Whether coding a multiplayer Ludo engine or animating for a government education platform, the people of Aaryavarta built more than tech. They built trust — with each other, and with the world.

From creating family board games to developing global online multiplayer board games, many of Aaryavarta’s early titles were made by a handful of passionate developers and artists who wore multiple hats — sometimes designer, sometimes QA, sometimes support.

Suraj, who joined as a frontend developer intern, now leads enterprise architecture.

“I still remember coding on a rented PC and eating vada pav for lunch every day. The energy we had back then — it hasn’t changed. We still build like it’s personal.”

Rasika, who started as a content writer, now heads game storytelling across Aaryavarta’s IPs.

“I didn’t think I’d ever work in gaming — and definitely not in a company where my ideas would actually shape what players experience. But here, I was trusted from day one.”

A Culture That Stays With You

From game rooms and cricket matches to open-door mentoring and festival potlucks, Aaryavarta’s culture has always been about keeping things real, fun, and human.

Even as the company built famous board games, classic board games, and cutting-edge metaverse tech, the internal culture stayed rooted in simplicity — celebrating birthdays, debating design over chai, and fixing bugs with music on.

From Freshers to Family

Aaryavarta’s founders didn’t just hire talent — they invested in people. Many employees who joined in their first job now handle international clients, manage cross-functional teams, and lead product verticals.

This people-centric growth is what allows Aaryavarta to create board game companies’ level of polish and custom software with startup-level speed — because the team owns the process, not just the task.

Srinath, who began as a QA trainee and is now a lead tester, shares:

“I made mistakes. I learned. But no one made me feel small. That’s why I stayed. That’s why I’ll keep staying.”

Built by People, Powered by Trust

As Aaryavarta continues to grow its portfolio — from online board games to enterprise-level AR/VR systems — it carries with it a culture of gratitude, loyalty, and shared success.

“Games, apps, simulations — we’ve built many things. But the most valuable thing we’ve built is a place where people want to come to work,” says Ajay Khamitkar, Co-founder.

The People Behind the Pixels: Aaryavarta’s Core Team Stories

At Aaryavarta Technologies, some of the most powerful code wasn’t written in IDEs — it was written in trust. As the company celebrates a decade of impact, it also celebrates four team members whose stories mirror Aaryavarta’s journey: full of grit, learning, and quiet leadership.

Javan Mane – From Raw Sketches to Game Worlds

Back when Aaryavarta was just a few desks and a dream, Javan Mane was the one translating ideas into visuals — often with a sketchpad, a mouse, and sheer willpower.

“I wasn’t sure if I was ready. But they believed I could be. That made me give everything,” says Javan.

He started as a junior game artist, sometimes designing three concepts a day just to hit a prototype deadline. Today, he leads visual design for some of Aaryavarta’s most played board games for kids, mobile hits, and AR/VR environments.

Whether it’s crafting vibrant UI for online board games or building immersive art for simulations, Javan’s style has become a signature of the Aaryavarta experience.

Vishwajeet Patil – The Calm Behind the Code

Vishwajeet Patil joined as a quiet, methodical QA trainee. What he lacked in confidence, he made up for with clarity. Today, he’s Aaryavarta’s Testing Lead — known across departments as the one who never misses a detail.

“I used to think I had to prove myself fast. But here, they told me — just be consistent. That was a turning point,” Vishwajeet shares.

He’s the backbone of the company’s delivery standards, especially in high-pressure projects like classic board games built on tight schedules or real-money gaming platforms where every bug can cost revenue.

It’s his calm during chaos that’s kept launches smooth, clients satisfied, and users safe.

Nachiket Chaitanya – The Architect in the Background

If the games run fast, stable, and secure — Nachiket Chaitanya built the backend for it.

Joining as a developer with raw potential and sharp logic, Nachiket quickly became the go-to for server logic, architecture, and systems that scale. Today, he leads the Backend Development Team and is instrumental in Aaryavarta’s multiplayer infrastructure and enterprise solutions.

“I never felt like just a coder here. I was solving real problems — for clients, and for people,” Nachiket reflects.

His work powers everything from online multiplayer board games to simulation dashboards for global clients. Quiet, dependable, and precise — he embodies the kind of leadership that rarely seeks the spotlight, but always delivers under it.

Rajan Sharma – Pixel Precision Meets User Empathy

Aaryavarta’s front-end systems don’t just work — they feel right. That’s because of people like Rajan Sharma, who joined with a passion for UI/UX and an eye for user behavior.

Starting as a junior interface designer, Rajan quickly became the bridge between backend logic and frontend magic. Whether working on family board games, gamified dashboards, or interactive edtech portals, his work balances beauty with usability.

“They didn’t box me into a role. They encouraged me to experiment — to create interfaces that feel intuitive, not just functional,” Rajan says.

Today, as a Frontend Lead, he’s helping shape Aaryavarta’s metaverse interfaces and XR navigation experiences — ensuring that no matter how complex the tech, the user experience stays human.

New Leaders, Same Spirit: The Next Chapter of Aaryavarta’s Growth

While many early employees laid the foundation, the next wave of leadership continues to raise the bar.

Sagar, now a Frontend Lead, is known for his ability to bring ideas to life with clean UI and user-first design. His knack for balancing performance with creativity has made him a go-to for complex client projects.

“Sagar doesn’t just write code — he crafts experiences,” says Mr Sameer Sirdeshmukh Ex Vice President of Reliance Industries.

On the technology front, Omkar, now a Tech Lead, brings architectural clarity and mentorship to every sprint. Whether it's WebGL optimizations or scalable infrastructure, Omkar’s precision and passion elevate every product he touches.

Kiran, a dedicated Frontend Developer, brings a quiet brilliance to every interface he works on — from dashboards to multiplayer games. His attention to detail ensures that every interaction feels natural.

On the backend, Aniket and Vishal form a dynamic duo. Whether it’s creating secure APIs, optimizing game logic, or managing real-time server loads, their work powers everything from online board games to internal tools.

“What unites all of them is their ownership. They don’t wait to be told — they take responsibility and move with intent,” said Ajay.

Together, this new generation of Aaryavarta leaders continues the legacy — combining humility, hunger, and technical mastery to shape what’s next.

Together, They Built More Than Products

These four aren’t just employees — they’re foundations. Their stories are part of a larger tapestry of people who believed, stayed, grew, and led — without needing a title to define their value.

“They didn’t just grow in Aaryavarta. Aaryavarta grew because of them,” says Nilesh Gawade. “We are forever grateful — not just for their work, but for who they are.”
