Comics doubled up as entertainment for Shefali Johnson during her younger days, and she was delighted with everything from the humour and wit of Asterix to the adventures of Tintin and his unpredictable dog Snowy. After studying organic chemistry at the University of Rajasthan, she considered teaching to follow in the footsteps of her parents, before jumping into the world of real estate.

A chance conversation with friends and the desire to take on anew challenge first introduced her to the world of esportsand gaming at NODWIN Gaming. It soon led her back toan old passion that she enjoys to this day: comics.
