ABOUT TEAM
Knockout India was founded with a vision to revolutionize the esports ecosystem at the grassroots level by Samyan Arya and Yatharth Sharma. Built on innovation and leadership, the company is strategically managed by a strong Chief Panel and a dedicated team of directors. At the core of leadership, Samyan Arya serves as CEO & Founder alongside Yatharth Sharma as Co-Founder, with Ansh Gupta leading operations as COO, Jayaditya Verma driving marketing as CMO, and Lakshya Jain managing human resources as CHRO.
Further strengthening the organization, the director panel plays a vital role in execution and growth—Soumil Arora as Director of Campus Relations, Aashna as Director of Public Relations, Saksham Goel as Director of Marketing, Aman Kashyap as Director of Content & Media. Together, this leadership team has shaped Knockout India into a fast-growing platform, driving innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for students across schools and colleges.
Knockout India operates on a structured model designed to expand the esports ecosystem across schools and colleges. The organization provides an official license to students and institutions, allowing them to establish and operate gaming clubs or societies under the Knockout India brand name. With this license, teams receive complete support in setting up, managing, and growing their societies—from organizing events to building a strong campus community. Knockout India has already expanded through its branch, Knockout MAIMS, showcasing how this model successfully creates independent yet connected units across campuses. By empowering students with brand access, guidance, and operational support, Knockout India ensures consistent growth while maintaining a unified identity nationwide.
