Exclusive Pre‑Event Insights from Priya Ahlawat, Founder, Jumping Play Studio
Ahead of SPiCE TheReunion 2025, we asked Priya Ahlawat, Founder of Jumping Play Studio, to share her perspective on what makes this gathering so special and what she is most looking forward to in Goa.
Reflecting on her experience, Priya remarked:
“I had the pleasure of attending SPiCE Goa 2023, which was an enriching experience both professionally and personally. It opened doors to valuable business connections and even lasting friendships. I’m excited to be part of SPiCE TheReunion 2025 as it promises to bring the industry’s best minds together once again, fostering collaboration and future partnerships.”
On how her entrepreneurial journey has shaped her outlook, she shared:
“My journey in gaming began in 2018, when I took the bold step of founding Jumping Play. Each day since has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with incredible peers. It has taught me the value of persistence, adaptability, and passion in building something meaningful.”
When asked about what makes teams thrive, Priya emphasised empowerment:
“Teams thrive when they’re trusted and empowered. Giving people ownership, the freedom to experiment, and the confidence that their ideas matter brings out their best. For me, it’s also about understanding your people and creating a bond beyond work.”
On advice for new entrepreneurs, she encouraged openness and positivity:
“Keep an open mind for learning, embrace challenges, and build strong connections. This industry is dynamic and ever‑evolving, and passion makes all the difference. If you genuinely love what you do, every day feels exciting and full of possibility.”
Looking ahead to the event, Priya summed up her hopes for delegates:
“I hope everyone experiences the true spirit of connection that SPiCE is known for – where networking goes beyond business cards and turns into meaningful conversations and lasting relationships.”
