GamersInfo: An Interview with MassDiGI’s Monty Sharma
“One of my earliest, most memorable interviews was with Monty Sharma, who at the time was a co-founder of Vivox, an audio services provider for online games. I still clearly remember how he was on-the-edge-of-his-seat excited about Vivox’s potential, anticipating a need just as it was emerging, months before company after company started signing on for their services. Fast forward several years later, and Monty is working with the Massachusetts Digital Games Institute and is as excited to bring new ideas to the table for both students and game developers alike.” Click here to read the full story at GamersInfo.net.
