Games24x7 has named Saroj Panigrahi as its chief operating officer (COO). Panigrahi's appointment comes after his success as the vice president to build My11Circle, the company's fantasy sports app. The appointment coincides with the government's initiatives to constitute self-regulatory organizations (SROs) to regulate the online gaming industry. The SROs will decide whether wagering in online games is permissible or not. Panigrahi, who worked with Accenture before joining the Games24x7, has been with the company for the past 15 years.

This week we —  Natasha  and  Danny  and  Alex  and  Grace — had more than a little to noodle over, but not so much that we blocked out a second episode. We try to stick to our current format, but, may do more shows in the future. Have a thought about that? equitypod@techcrunch.com is your friend and we are listening. Now!
