New Delhi: When Sameer Joshi, a former Indian Air Force (IAF) officer, hung his boots a few years after seeing action in the Kargil War, he hadn’t imagined that he would be aiding the IAF in devising new strategies to attract talent to the force sometime into the future. That future is now.
The fighter pilot, with multinational experience flying multiple combat planes, had fought the Pakistanis in 1999 over the icy heights of Kargil. It was a war India won convincingly due to the fire power of the IAF combat planes and helicopters.
An alumnus of the National Defence Academy (NDA), Joshi continues to fly a bush-plane to connect the far-flung areas in the North East even after retiring from the IAF. But what is most satisfying for him is his present assignment as the creative director at Threye, described on its website as “a young playful company, which takes the business of fun seriously”.
Threye—a word coined by the confluence of Three and Eye—deals with three-dimensional graphics and Joshi will put to use his knowledge in military history to geo-politics of the region, military aviation and aerospace technology, to develop mobile games for the IAF. Threye recently won the tender to develop the adrenaline-raising ‘Guardians of the Sky’ mobile game for adventure-seeking Indian teens in the 14 to 18 age bracket.
