Heya! I’m Arvindh!

I help people learn, grow, and transform through play and design. As the founder of Put The Player First – a Game-Based Learning Studio, I create simulations and workshops that bring serious ideas to life through games.

With over 18 years in marketing, communication, and facilitation, I blend creativity and structure to help people level up at work, life, and happiness. When I’m not designing, I’m usually with my family, watching zombie movies, playing badminton, or deep in a boardgame.

Games I Run & Design

At Put The Player First, I run simulations like Planetfall, The Ripple Effect, Sticky Fingers, Chaos on the Tour Bus, and Redwater Rescue. I’ve also designed original games such as Street by Street, Map of Change, and Edquest.

Alongside these, I design custom games for corporates and NGOs to fit their goals.

Beyond the Studio

Beyond the studio, I run the YouTube channel AI for Career Growth, lead the 10,000 Game Masters project to help people run their first TTRPG, and teach creators through Make What People Want. I also speak openly about living with ADHD and helping others see it as a strength.

Who’s Played

I’ve helped people from Google, Walmart, Lowe’s, Citrix, Akamai, Novo Nordisk, Robert Bosch, and many more, as well as NGOs like NagaEd, Shikshagraha, and Kreate Foundation.
