How do you turn your worst year into your greatest move?
In the Season 3 premiere of Bet It Drives, GR8 Tech CSO Yevhen Krazhan takes a ride through Rome with Eman Pulis, Founder of SiGMA World, to unpack how he built one of iGaming's most influential event platforms—and how COVID almost destroyed it all.
In this episode, Eman reveals the controversial decision that saved SiGMA in 2021 (spoiler: 14,000 people gatherin in one room when only 100 were allowed), why he planted the flag in Rome while keeping Malta in the picture, and the Phuket moment when life felt too perfect—two weeks before COVID hit. He opens up about building a 350-person multicultural tribe across eight offices, launching the SiGMA Foundation during freefall, choosing impact over politics, and why "business is done between people, not brands" became his mantra. Plus: the gladiator mentality, the "zoom out" crisis survival rule, and the Hans Zimmer song he plays when the arena finally clears.
This is your front seat to the ambition, risk, and relentless drive that turned crisis into legacy—filmed in the city that wrote the book on empires.
