Q. What is the reason behind the name ”Xmania”?

A. I used to admire WrestleMania from WWE a lot, it seemed to be a unique event to me. I wanted my name to start from the initial "X". So I took X and Mania from WrestleMania and that's how I figured my name would be "Xmania".

Q. How was support from your family when you initially started gaming?

A. As every typical Indian parent, my parents were also never in support of gaming. Initially, I had no support from them, My mom even used to hit me for this, but I always believed in myself and continued my passion for gaming. Eventually as the Xmania brand started growing, the support from my family also started.

Q. What did you do in your school days?

Q. Any tip that you would like to give to the underdogs who want to enter the competitive scene?
