Sankalpa Das is a gaming journalist at Sportskeeda who specializes in role-playing games (RPGs) and first-person shooters (FPS). A trained IT engineer, he switched his career so he could combine his passion for computer hardware and video games. Having done early build testing for Redstorm Entertainment, Sankalpa brings a wealth of insight into his role at Sportskeeda. He actively plays the games he is tasked to cover and then writes unbiased, thoughtful, and accurate features. He has garnered 250K+ reads across just 150 stories.

Sankalpa is drawn to the variety and accessibility of video games. Delta Force 1 was the first title he played, and it ignited in him a lifelong love for the FPS genre. Currently, he prefers to play multiplayer games on his PC. That said, he would love to explore the majestic landscapes of Far Cry 4's Kyrat in person if he ever finds himself in a Jumanji-type scenario.

Sankalpa follows the esports scene of Rainbow Six quite closely. In fact, he himself played with and against T2 and T3 teams in R6 tournaments at one point. He enjoys watching the tactics employed by professional players and draws inspiration from their brilliance. He looks up to Pengu, a former G2 member and 2x Winner of Rainbow 6 Siege invitationals, who takes a calm and analytical approach to all situations.

In his spare time, Sankalpa can be found listening to lossless music or editing YouTube videos. He also loves binge-watching anime.
