A booming poker scene in India is proving fruitful for players and operators alike and the latest alliance that has emerged is the signing of pro Jaideep ‘JDsaz’ Sajwan (cover image) by online poker site PoKeRMaNiA.

The site is the brainchild of Abhinav Aditya & Avilash Chatterjee from Bangalore, and Hetal Desai & Jaydeep Dawer from Surat. All four are engineers and also share the same passion for poker, which got them to start this site in late February, 2016. “Our goal is to work on this sport to have a good name in our country and to remove the taboo of gambling attached to it from a layman’s perspective,” they inform.

PoKeRMaNiA has signed up Jaideep Sajwan as their first Team pro and the company representatives state that, “JD Saz has been a friend to all of us since quite some time and his online and live achievements are very evident, so we mutually decided to sign him for our Team. Discussions with him happened during the IPC in Feb. Hence association with him is our privilege.”

Sajwan, a Manipal student, is a well known regular and has a reputation for consistent scores, since he began playing in 2009. He has been playing live at Bengaluru poker clubs since 2014, with several wins to his credit. A regular at the India Poker Championship (IPC), Sajwan made a ninth place in the IPC January 100K Highroller and a third place in the IPC February 30K Main Event this year.

Online, he has mostly scored at PokerStars and switched to India sites ever since the boom last year. Currently, Sajwan is a forerunner in the OPN Challenger series.

The PoKeRMaNiA team informs that “Apart from being the Poker Face for Team PoKeRMaNiA, JD Saz is a great ambassador for the game.”

They expect to increase the team under Sajwan, “We also intend to make a larger team under the guidance of JD Saz pretty soon.”

The site will be hosting a MaNiA Big Bash Poker Championship from March 30 to April 3, with ₹28 Lakhs in guaranteed prizes, plus goodies in gadgets for the top 10 finishers on the leaderboard.
