Flash games a month on these websites.
We are one of the fastest growing online gaming companies in the world and feature in
the top 20 online gaming properties (USA and World) (comScore reports). Top tier
investors such as Clearstone Venture Partners, Nirvana Venture Advisors & Silicon Valley
Bank have funded G2W.
Who We Need
Having understood the mobile games business in the past year, and analyzed first-hand
what helps make a hit like Parking Frenzy, G2W has now planned a pipeline of 24 games
for the year 2012-2013 which are fully-loaded games having virtual goods and / or paid
extension packs with new levels.
To get these games out, we seek talented and experienced game designers and artists
to join our team of 80 in Mumbai. Specifically, we’re looking for a Junior Art Director, 5
graphic designers, 2 UI designers and 3 game designers.
Next Steps
We have prepared detailed descriptors of the kind of people we seek. Please have a look
at the following documents outlining the skills we expect and responsibilities you would
likely take on.
If you believe you have it in you to join a new chapter of games coming out of India,
send your resume with references to your past work, to [email protected].

1 Junior Art Director
5 Graphic Designers
2 User Interface Designers
3 Game Designers (this is NOT an Art/Programming role. It involves creating
game concepts and game design documents)
Remuneration
As a practice, we have typically matched candidates with their existing salary packages
and throw in lucrative performance incentives; and of course ESOPs.*
*In the exit of mobile2win China to Disney, and when Nirvana Venture Funds invested
into Games2win – the group has now a proven track record of demonstrating how
valuable its company ESOPs can be.
The idea is to make the candidate actually take an ownership role and then provide
additional compensation on performance.
Note that we do not want people to join us just for a better salary. We don’t bribe
people to join us. Instead, we want people to join us for the love of what we do and the
opportunity to shine professionally!
Growth and prospects
This is a dream job for someone who’s looking to be involved in original game IP being
developed for the mobile space, and to have your game played globally by millions of
players. The mobile games market is booming, and the successful candidate can look
forward to a very long term vertical growth curve in this industry.
