Saswata Datta

XR Product Specialist

At XR NorthStar Consulting, I am passionate about helping XR application development and game development companies push boundaries in the XR industry. By specializing in XR technologies and Spatial Computing, including AR/VR, Metaverse, interactive media, training simulations, and gaming products, I can provide expert guidance on all aspects of digital product creation, development, and management.

I offer a comprehensive approach to XR product consulting that covers everything from market research to product design and development.

Business consulting services are designed to help clients understand the market and create a solid business plan.
Product consulting services cover all aspects of product development, from ideation to launch.
Design and Technical consulting services help ensure that the product is not only technically sound but also visually appealing and user-friendly.

My journey in this industry has been transformative, fueled by my passion and creativity. I’ve honed my skills in various methodologies and frameworks, gamification strategies, troubleshooting, problem-solving, and mentorship.

Currently, I hold the position of Chief Innovation Officer and Vice President of Portfolio Management at a leading XR startup accelerator firm. My responsibilities span Global Business Plan Modeling, Pitch Deck creation, Intellectual Property management, Internal Product Management and Development, Team Management, and Strategic and Technical Planning.

I manage the quality of deal flow, startup evaluations, technical due diligence, and synergy identification. I also oversee the automation of application processes, database management, and tracking of OKRs and KPIs. In addition, I take pride in mentoring, incubating, accelerating, and supporting XR and gaming startups, as well as the XR talent community.

A decade ago, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey and founded two successful B2B service-based firms. We successfully delivered 125 projects across various AR, VR applications, and Games.

Prior to that, I served as a technical instructor in 3D animation, VFX, Game Art, and Game Engine. At the onset of my career, I worked as a 3D character animator for animation, VFX, and gaming studios. This diverse experience has shaped me into the professional I am today.
