Ask HN: Any startups working with distributed teams in gaming/ar/vr?

I run an edtech startup Outscal (www.outscal.com) upskilling game developers in India. We have been working with entry level developers for past year and half and have executed multiple batches and developers are getting placed at 3 times market salary here (which has been a great motivator for us!)

Now we are looking to explore if we can do this internationally for studios around the world and help them build good quality distributed engineering teams for building games and ar/vr.

Note: we don't do outsourcing :-)

A bit about myself - I have been in game dev space for the past 8+ years. Did my masters from CMU (Entertainment Technology Centre), worked in Bay area with Kixeye, DeNA and EA for a bit and then moved back to India and have been in the gaming tech space ever since. My full profile is here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayankgrover/

Any recommendations/suggestions around studios that you guys might be aware of that are looking to expand/setup distributed engineering teams.

Let me know if you have any questions.
