Goindi has been making systematic progress as a poker player and personality. He is one of the few Indian poker players with a verified Instagram account, which is proof of his organic and genuine following, not just in poker but in other realms as well. He was also one of the mentors at the recently concluded Poker Masterclass, a competition/reality show that streamed on JioCinema. 

His squad, The Shark Squad, included Subhodeep Paul (West Bengal), Mahima Walia (Karnataka), Shubham Upadhyay (Haryana), Areyann Gurbaxani (Maharashtra), Pranav Baheti (West Bengal), Siddhant Khanna (Delhi), and Tanay Kauntia (Jharkhand). The series itself is unique and one of the first ones in India to stream a live poker game, bringing the game closer to thousands of Indian households. Whether there will be a Season 2 of the series and whether Goindi will be a part of it is anyone’s guess currently. 

It remains to be seen which other series Goindi has set his eyes on in the poker circuit and exactly how much the popular Indian poker player wins and gets into his kitty. We at Gutshotmagazine will keep you posted.
