About Tejinder Mangat

Director of Operations

What is your superpower?
I’m pretty darn good at working with and presenting large datasets in Excel, SQL, and Tableau and gleaning useful insights from them. I’m diving into the AI game and am particularly excited about mastering large language models.
What is your favorite video game? Why?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It’s a perfectly crafted adventure, with some cool narrative twists to boot! I've played almost every Zelda game since.
What is your role at IDG?
I've worked on projects across publications, backend data operations, and consulting, but I largely view my role as a support position, where I service clients with market landscape analyses and custom forecasting. I have also worked with our databases, process documentation, and project management
What is your background/experience in the games industry?
IDG is my first role in games. I previously held some contract analyst positions at big tech companies in Silicon Valley. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the family business, though: my mother assembled Atari consoles when she first came to the U.S. in the late 70s/early 80s!
“IDG is one of our go-to partners for tackling some of the biggest challenges we face in our industry. They are objective, independent experts, and they have been a trusted advisor and resource for Activision for over 20 years. We work with IDG across multiple areas and levels, and we greatly value the partnership.”

Activision
“IDG is one of the most insightful and forward-thinking research firms in our industry. Their unique ability to expertly analyze trends that capture paradigm shifts in emerging technologies, business models and consumerism is what has made them such a valued longstanding partner of our organization.”

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
“Intelligence is about answering two very important questions; why and what next? Over the last 5 years we’ve partnered with Yoshio and the IDG team, we’ve worked together in high level strategy products to local tactical engagements helping fuel the growth for Wargaming and enabling my team to focus on implementing the how. IDG has consistently delivered insight around trends driving the industry, competitive intensity in exploratory markets, and easy to understand data visualizations unpacking complex metrics in bite size form.”

Wargaming
“Milestone has been working with IDG for many years, and the level of collaboration could not be higher. The support provided by the company has played a role of great value over time: their quarterly reports are a fundamental tool to analyze trends, preferences and users’ tastes and they provide very good support for our strategic decisions. In addition to periodic analysis, Milestone also works with IDG for ad hoc evaluations, always managing to have precise, rapid and extremely useful answers for our business. IDG has even been an incredible supporter for us in looking for a partner in the US, and they followed up with us step-by-step with enthusiasm and dedication. We will be always grateful to Anton, Yoshio and the whole IDG team.”
