The popular Indian firm entered BGMI esports in late 2021 by recruiting Ash, Believe, Drigger, and AK. Before joining Orangutan, Believe played for a few well-known clubs like Megastars and Enigma Gaming. However, after the release of the Indian version of PUBG Mobile, i.e., Battlegrounds Mobile India, he began his fresh journey with Orangutan.

Along with his teammates, he played impressively in the League Stage of the Loco WR of Glory but struggled a bit in its Grand Finals. The lineup came second in India Today’s Dangal event. Meanwhile, their performance was then average in the Loco Diwali Battle and the Red Bull M.E.O Season 4.

Orangutan Gaming completely stumbled in the initial stages of the Battlegrounds Mobile India Series 2021. The Ash-led lineup had not even earned a spot in the Grand Finals. After a modest run in several tournaments, Orangutan displayed a remarkable show in the BGMI Masters Series 2022, securing the third position. The crew received a cash prize of $13,200.

Believe and his teammates exhibited a phenomenal performance in the Battlegrounds Mobile India Showdown 2022 as they ensured the runner-up position in this official BGMI tournament.

Despite the game ban, Believe and other members continued in Orangutan Gaming. With the re-release of BGMI in May 2023, they yet again started their campaign with this roster.

The club emerged as runner-up in the BGMS 2023. They won the Battle For Revolution S1 and the Upthrust Esports Pro Showdown S2. But the squad faltered in the BGIS 2023, an official event with a huge prize pool of ₹2 crore.
