Mohit Sureka: Building Games That Scale, Engage & Win

From turning ideas into high-retention games to scaling mobile titles for a global audience, Mohit Sureka, Founder and CEO of Spiel Studios, brings over a decade of product-first leadership in the gaming industry. With a deep understanding of user behavior and a sharp focus on quality, Mohit has built a portfolio of games that don’t just go viral — they stick, engage, and convert.

Leading with Gameplay: The Spiel Studios Story

Founded by Mohit, Spiel Studios has quietly become one of India’s standout mobile gaming studios — with millions of downloads across platforms, strong monetization performance, and a sharp design philosophy centered around player delight.

Mohit’s approach is simple, but not easy:

• Build games that feel good
• Understand the nuance of retention and progression loops
• Nail product-market fit before going global

Over the years, he has led cross-functional teams through every stage of the lifecycle — from early gameplay prototypes and level design to publishing, analytics, and long-term LTV optimization.

At the heart of Spiel’s success is Mohit’s deep belief in player-first product thinking — a mindset that puts user joy, usability, and stickiness above vanity metrics.

Product Thinking for Founders: Beyond Gaming

While Mohit’s roots are in gaming, his playbook is relevant across industries. He brings clarity and precision to questions that every early-stage founder grapples with:

• What makes a product worth coming back to?
• How do you build features users actually care about?
• What’s the fastest way to validate if your product works?
• When do you scale — and when do you stop building?

As someone who has been through cycles of hits, flops, pivots, and wins — Mohit offers honest, first-hand advice rooted in years of real product execution.

A Strategic Advisor at The Builders Club

As a newly joined Advisor to The Builders Club, Mohit now supports a growing network of early-stage builders across India — especially those building in product-heavy or user-intensive categories.

He helps founders:
🎮 Improve user retention & product flow
🎯 Think clearly about monetization models
📲 Navigate app store dynamics & global rollout strategies
📈 Build high-performance teams focused on impact, not fluff

Mohit’s mentorship is grounded in the idea that good products are built, not hyped. He’s known for cutting through noise and getting to the core of what matters — whether you’re shipping your first MVP or iterating for scale.

As a startup founder and operator, Ashok has worn every hat — across growth, operations, marketing, and product — scaling DriveU from the ground up into a platform that has completed over 7.5 million trips and empowered 10,000+ active driver partners.

Building DriveU: India’s Driver-on-Demand Platform

DriveU is a consumer mobility platform that allows car owners to book professional, background-verified drivers on-demand — whether for a few hours, a full day, or long-distance travel.
