[RECAP] 2025 in Review — Growth, Grit & Gratitude 📈🧿🔥

Every year teaches you something.But some years don't just teach — they transform you. 2025 was one of those years for me, and iQOO Community was a huge part of that journey.


This year had made me learn a lot.

January was another beginning of a new year. iQOO 13 was the star, and in life I completed my last semester in university.


February had something great waiting for me. I got an internship in iQOO, and that too as Esports Marketing. At first, I was like “sach mei kya?” 😭

Then came 7th Feb, my first day at the office  nervous, curious, with too many thoughts running in my head. Met the W team Pratik Sir, Rama & Aojesh, Milind.

The first week was a quick start: learning new things, getting to know each other. The honeymoon phase of every life experience hehe. And tbh, we enjoyed a lot.

Days passed by, months passed by, and then came our first important campaign iQOO Neo 10R. Finally, we had the power to put our brains together and get the best results possible. From planning Privé Night to a 24-hour Marathon to the launch everything made us realize how much effort goes into making a product successful. Kudos to the whole team 🙌

Then came iQOO Battlegrounds Series 

It was a redemption for all of us because last time, it didn't turn out well.

Performance anxiety was real. Everyone's eyes were on us — will iQOO pull it off, or get pulled off again? Our minds were in full work mode: endless approvals, preparations, on-ground support.

And then… Orangutan Gaming winning their first trophy 🏆 The redemption arc finished with a big W. Still remember how happy we all were when Quest for Glory was finally achieved. Grateful for the opportunity.


After a sweaty month, I got a fortunate opportunity to visit Saudi Arabia as an S8UL Superfan in Riyadh. An experience of a lifetime.

Trust me, it was legit an experience  the chaos, the teams, the fans cheering. Something I had never seen in domestic leagues. The fan festival, the vibe  man, if you ever get a chance, do visit the Esports World Cup. Always grateful.


And the quest continues...


A year full of new experiences, new discoveries.

Cheers to a lovely one 🥂

Up next — 2026.

Endless possibilities, and curious to know what's coming up next.

Till then, have a great one & Happy New Year, iQOO Connect 💙🎉
