Welcome to Jio BLAST and the Marketing, Social and Comms Team!
At BLAST we create live and digital experiences - from tournaments that pack out major arenas around the world to great content that’s guaranteed to blow your socks off.
BLAST have now combined forces with Jio to entertain India’s youth and redefine Indian esports. Globally we work with the world’s best game publishers and brands to elevate their properties into amazing esports experiences. Now it’s time for India.
Launched in 2025 and headquartered in Mumbai, Jio BLAST is assembling a passionate, ambitious, and creative team. This is your opportunity to be part of shaping BLAST’s vision for esports in India.
