NODWIN Gaming has appointed Sidharth Kedia as Chief Strategy and Investments Officer. In his new role, Kedia will oversee the company’s strategic direction, fundraising efforts, and mergers and acquisitions.

Kedia brings over 20 years of experience in media, investments, and strategy, with leadership roles across fintech, private equity, and media. He returns to NODWIN Gaming, having previously served as CEO from 2019 to 2023, during which he helped expand the company beyond esports.

Kedia was part of the early evolution of India’s payments ecosystem at Venture Infotek, built one of the country’s early analytics and data science practices at eFunds, and co-founded Ambit Pragma Ventures. He later played a key role within Reliance Industries, leading turnaround and restructuring initiatives across the Network18 portfolio and advising on media investments for Jio. As Head of Strategy at Viacom18, he worked across corporate strategy and M&A.

Sidharth Kedia, Chief Strategy and Investments Officer, NODWIN Gaming, said: “It feels great to be back at NODWIN at such an important point in its journey. Having seen the company grow over the years, it’s clear how strong the foundation is today and how much opportunity lies ahead. NODWIN is entering a phase where focused strategy, thoughtful capital allocation, and strong execution will unlock its true value potential. I’m looking forward to working with the team to build on this momentum and take NODWIN into its next stage of growth.”

Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said: “Sidharth has played a pivotal role in shaping NODWIN’s journey, and his return back to the NODWIN Family comes at an important stage as we continue to scale the business globally and look at a potential listing. He combines a deep understanding of our ecosystem with strong expertise in capital strategy and corporate development. As we expand our IP portfolio, enter new markets, and advance our capital plans, his leadership will be instrumental in driving long-term value creation for the company.”

Kedia’s appointment follows Arnd Benninghoff joining NODWIN Gaming’s Board of Directors, highlighting the company’s focus on strengthening its leadership and preparing for a potential IPO.
