About me

Hi, I'm Rakesh. I've been gaming since 2012. It started with GTA III and Vice City on an old PC, then San Andreas, which I've finished more times than I can count. After that came GTA IV and GTA V, and somewhere along the way I got pulled into shooters: Counter-Strike, Call of Duty Black Ops and Modern Warfare, and later Valorant.

I'm also a racing person. Need for Speed has been with me the whole way: Most Wanted, The Run, Rivals, Payback. Then there are the story games I still remember scenes from: God of War, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed, Metro: Last Light. On the phone it's BGMI and COD Mobile, and on lazy evenings, EA Sports Cricket.

By profession I'm a full stack developer. Honestly, I got into coding because I wanted to make games. That never fully left me, which is why SquadAdda has its own small browser games.

SquadAdda started from one problem I kept running into: finding good teammates. Random matchmaking gives you people who leave mid-match, abuse on the mic, or don't speak your language. I wanted a place where Indian players can find a squad by platform, language and free time, and where trust is earned by actually playing together.

I don't post gameplay videos and I'm not a pro. I'm a regular player who has spent a lot of years with these games, and that's the angle I write from.

How we write

SquadAdda is a small, independent site. I use AI tools to research and draft stories and guides, because that lets one person cover more games. Nothing goes live on its own: I read every piece, check the facts, and edit it before publishing.

Facts come from official sources first: the developer or publisher, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam and the stores. Each story lists its sources at the end. Prices are in rupees and times in IST, because we write for players in India.

Rumours are called rumours. When something changes, like a release date or a price, we update the story and its date. If you spot a mistake, write to us from the Contact page and it gets fixed.

SquadAdda is an unofficial fan platform. We have no connection with Rockstar, Take-Two, Sony, Microsoft or any other game company, and no one pays us for coverage.
