A Chief Technology Officer for a real money gaming platform at scale

The customer

India's leading real money gaming platform, with more than $750 million in revenue, over 50 million registered users, and peak concurrency exceeding 100,000 players.

The problem

A Chief Technology Officer who could modernise a legacy system at extreme scale without disrupting a live, revenue-critical platform.

The challenges

Legacy architecture, massive concurrency, and no room for downtime made this a high-stakes engineering leadership hire.

Our approach

A targeted search for engineering leaders with a proven record of upgrading live systems at high-concurrency consumer scale.

How we ran it

We prioritised operators who had delivered measurable throughput gains on production systems, not just architects on paper.

What was unique

Matching a leader precisely to a legacy-modernisation challenge at a scale very few engineers have operated at.

Outcome

The placed CTO upgraded the legacy system within months and delivered a tenfold increase in throughput.
