Neel writes the pages about how Lightning Storm actually works: the rules of all five bonus rounds and the comparison of bets on the main page. He came to live game shows from board games and probability puzzles, and he still checks every payout by drawing the wheel on squared paper.

An Indian man in his forties with a trimmed grey beard and rimless glasses sitting at a home desk in the evening, a sheet of squared paper in front of him covered in a hand-drawn circle split into wedges, a pencil in his hand, a desk lamp throwing warm amber light

His rule for the site: if a figure can be worked out from the published layout, show the working. That is why the Leaf return appears as 19 ÷ 39 × 2 rather than as a bare percentage.

He lives in Pune.
