Mythik appoints former Jio Games head Sidharth Kedia as COO

Mythik appoints former Jio Games head Sidharth Kedia as COO. Mythik, an entertainment company founded by former Housing.com CEO Jason Kothari, has appointed Sidharth Kedia as Chief Operating Officer, where he will lead operations and strategic finance. Kedia is an experienced media, entertainment, and gaming business leader, who was Head of Jio Games, Chief Strategy Officer of Viacom 18, and CEO of Nodwin, South Asia’s leading esports company. Kedia had also a stint at Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s office, where he led the Project Management Office for Jio’s telecom launch and was also responsible for integrating Network 18 into RIL. “Jason’s ambitious vision for Mythik aligns with how I’ve always imagined our own mythological universe’s potential from both a creative and business standpoint. Since childhood, I’ve been captivated by these stories my grandparents told me and as a huge Marvel fan, I’ve often wondered why our superheroes never got the global spotlight they deserve. We plan to change that at Mythik,” said Kedia. Mythik is a tech-first global entertainment company with a vision to bring Eastern mythology, history, and folktales to a worldwide audience for the first time and create the ‘Disney from the East’. Soon after the launch in April, the company raised $15 million in a seed funding round from Sakal Media Group, BITKRAFT, VC Grid, Visceral Capital, Jason Kothari, Shah Rukh Khan’s family office, and others.
