Mumbai: In a landmark move that underscores the evolving landscape of Poker in India, PokerBaazi has announced Gunisha Sinha as its newest Game Ambassador, also known as a Team Pro. Gunisha’s appointment comes on the heels of her historic victory at The Circuit: Season 3, where she emerged as the first woman to win the prestigious Poker-based reality series.
A qualified dentist and classically trained musician, Gunisha represents a new generation of Indian Poker players—educated, strategic, and determined to challenge norms. Her entry into PokerBaazi’s Team Pro positions her alongside some of the biggest names in Indian Poker including Abhishek Goindi, Zarvan Tumboli, and Laksh Pal Singh.
Gunisha’s inspiring journey has seen her transition from clinical practice to the professional Poker circuit, redefining Poker as a Mind Sport that demands focus, emotional control, strategic thinking, and mental resilience.
Expressing her excitement, Gunisha Sinha said, “Joining PokerBaazi as a Team Pro feels surreal and incredibly rewarding. It’s a huge milestone in my Poker journey, and I’m proud to be associated with a platform that has played such a pivotal role in shaping the Indian Poker ecosystem. My goal as a Team Pro is to keep evolving as a player while inspiring more women and newcomers to take up Poker seriously and confidently.”
Her rise in the sport has been nothing short of remarkable. A podium finish in PokerBaazi’s flagship Game Changer tournament catapulted her into the national spotlight. She continued her momentum with standout performances internationally in Cambodia, a deep run at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), and a top finish at the G.O.A.T on PokerBaazi. Her recent victory in The Circuit: Season 3 in Vietnam, where she outplayed 15 of India’s top pros, marked a defining moment in her career. Gunisha is now gearing up for her next big challenge at WSOP 2025 in Las Vegas.
Navkiran Singh, Founder and CEO of Baazi Games, commented on the announcement, “We welcome Gunisha to Team Pro with immense pride. Her remarkable journey from a successful career in dentistry to becoming a professional Poker player exemplifies the intellectual rigor, strategic thinking, and unwavering dedication that Poker demands. Her presence on Team Pro reflects our continued commitment to breaking stereotypes and inspiring a new generation of players to view Poker not just as a game, but as a skill-driven pursuit of mastery.”
With this appointment, PokerBaazi reaffirms its dedication to fostering talent, championing inclusivity, and positioning Poker as a sport of intellect and strategy. Gunisha’s addition to Team Pro not only celebrates her achievements but also sets the stage for a more diverse and dynamic future in Indian Poker.
