Our partnership with him is not quite simple, it’s a symbiotic relationship which we’ll both nurture to launch quality gear that brings in the next pros to the arena.”

SkRossi boasts a decorated gaming career encompassing more than 5 years, initially competing in Counter-Strike before transitioning to VALORANT. As a VALORANT competitor, he has earned accolades as one of India’s most distinguished athletes, securing numerous first-place finishes. Notably, he represented Global Esports in Riot Games’ VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Pacific last year, competing in South Korea.

KREO, founded in 2022, has been pioneering the gaming consumer electronics space with an impressive lineup of products catering PC gamers, mobile gamers, and creators. Backed by prominent investors like Sauce. VC, Chona Family Office, Revant Bhate (Co-founder at Mosaic Wellness), and Bala Sarda (Founder at Vahdam Teas), the brand caters to all the hardware needs of a gamer ranging from audio and video to tripods and mousepads.

This vision resonates with KREO, and I am eager to collaborate with a brand that recognizes the needs of an average Indian gamer with budget-friendly and trustworthy products.”

In the Indian esports landscape, which has predominantly revolved around mobile gaming, PC esports players like SkRossi have been forging a name for themselves with their impressive dedication and skills in PC gaming. SkRossi’s designation as a KREO Athlete marks a significant milestone in the Indian esports industry, positioning him as one of the few PC esports players to secure an exclusive brand partnership, a testament to 26-year-old player’s stardom.
