Mumbai: Reliance Jio has appointed Nodwin Gaming's ex-CEO Sidharth Kedia, as senior vice president and head of JioGames. This strategic move is intended to expand JioGames' business operations. Kedia, who started his new role in June, expressed his excitement about rejoining Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) after nearly ten years.

"A decade later, I feel pretty stoked to be called back in the RIL family and be entrusted with the opportunity to scale JioGames and build a gaming behemoth that India awaits," Kedia stated.

Kedia has a diverse professional background. He previously held various positions within the Reliance Group, including executive roles at Viacom18 and Network18. At Viacom18, he served as executive vice president and head of strategy, M&A, data science, and eSports for almost three years. At Network18, he was CEO-digital (non-news) and managed corporate strategy for almost two years.

Kedia is optimistic about the growth potential of JioGames, especially within the expanding digital landscape of India. He envisions transforming JioGames into a major player in the gaming industry by capitalizing on the strong digital infrastructure that Jio has built.
