About Avinash Bali

I’ve spent half my life playing video games, and the other half writing about them. I’ve headed gaming editorial and web properties such as Tech2 and IndianVideoGamer, and was the founding editor and product head for IGN India. I have also overseen Indian editions of international publications such as Ask Men, Gizmodo, Life Hacker, PC Mag and TechSpot.I have brought together my love for gaming and my passion for fitness to become a fitness consultant for e-sports organisation Team Vitality.Over the last three years, I have worked as a gaming content specialist through my firm, DTR Consultancy, where we have provided editorial content, social media strategy and PR services for global brands such as HP, Supercell, Red Bull and Sony PlayStation.With nearly two decades of experience, I bring in-depth industry knowledge, a strong work ethic, a keen understanding of gaming trends, and a pulse on consumer tastes.
