Gameberry Labs

Our Director of Strategy Pawas Shrivastava was invited back to his alma mater Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow 11 years after graduating, to speak with PGP students on Strategy in Tech in today’s fast-evolving world. He shared a few hard-earned insights from the trenches of building a consumer tech company: ⚙️ The frameworks remain same, but their application has changed dramatically. 🏆 Winning companies don’t necessarily have better strategies, they have shorter experimentation cycles. ⚡ They discover they’re wrong fast and act on it faster. 🔁 In tech, strategy is no longer a plan to execute, it’s how to maximize learning rate.

We’re grateful to give back to the institutions that has shaped Berryvengers and even more excited to keep building games that millions love.
