We were delighted to present Harinder Sangha, Co-Founder & COO of Maverick Games with the G Into Gaming accolade at the recent Gamesindustry.biz Best Places To Work Awards.

This award is given each year to a woman who has demonstrated unwavering commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within their organisation, but has also been a beacon of hope and inspiration in the wider industry.

Harinder has done just that and joins Ann Hurley (Team 17), Tamsin O’Luanaigh (nDreams), Dr Marie-Claire Isaaman (Women in Games), Emma Smith (Hestia Talent) and Gina Jackson OBE (Pitchify) in the G Into Gaming Hall of Fame.

The award was presented by G Into Gaming Founder and Amiqus’ Business Manager Liz Prince at the Best Places To Work Awards event, which followed the HR Summit. She said:

“If you were here earlier at the HR Summit you may have heard me talking about the troubling anti-EDI trend that we’re witnessing currently - the scaling back of diversity teams and initiatives and the backlash against what some dismissively call 'woke' culture, led by high-profile figures. 

“But what helps to keep my spirit and determination alive are the incredible individuals around me who share a passion and commitment to EDI. This room is filled with such amazing people, all of whom are being recognised for their tireless efforts in making the games industry a better, more inclusive place. I applaud every one of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do. 

“And now, it is my absolute pleasure to present the G Into Gaming Award for 2024.

This year's recipient is no stranger to accolades. She has previously won the Best Places to Work Best Boss award and has been instrumental in her former studio's numerous achievements in EDI and employee support. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the industry.

“A year ago, she embarked on a new journey, launching a studio in Leamington Spa. True to her values, she has been building and leading her new team with the same dedication and passion, fostering an environment of inclusivity and excellence.

“Beyond her professional achievements, she’s an Ambassador for Special Effect, she’s served on the Women in Games Advisory Board, is a Ukie Board Member, and has been recognised as one of the GI.biz Most Influential Women.

“Harinder… your unwavering dedication, your passion, and your genuine care for making the games industry a better place is truly inspiring. You have touched the lives of so many, including mine. It’s an honour to know you and to witness your incredible journey.

“So, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in celebrating the remarkable Harinder Sangha of Maverick Games, the recipient of the G Into Gaming Award 2024.”

Congratulations to Harinder, and to all the winners of the Best Places To Work Awards 2024. You can watch the ceremony and discover the winners here.
