These are all what I’d call ‘winner attributes’, supremely helpful in the early stages of any young individual’s career, the space Leverage focuses upon.”
Deepak Ail, CEO and co-founder of FAU-G: Domination developer Dot9 Games:
“We realised that our largest and most vocal fanbases aren’t even in India’s metros, they’re in rural belts. For them, the value of time spent was crucial, hence the revamp of FBL to include for upskilling. Now all of India can play and have an equal chance to be the best.”
