Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles, Flipkart, said "Mobile gaming in India is witnessing phenomenal growth, driven by a new generation of young, performance-focused consumers who demand smartphones that can keep up with their gaming ambitions without compromising on value or reliability. The OPPO K13 Turbo Series is a testament to that demand—combining overpowered performance, long-lasting battery life, and innovative features like advanced cooling to deliver a truly gamer-ready experience. As part of our longstanding partnership with OPPO India, we are proud to bring this power-packed series to millions of customers across the country through Flipkart and look forward to helping redefine what mid-range smartphones can deliver.' Storm Engine, the Most Powerful Air-Cooling Technology Ever The OPPO K13 Turbo Series debuts a breakthrough active and passive cooling system designed to deliver measurable gains in sustained performance. By maintaining lower operating temperatures during extended use, the system enables consistent peak output without thermal throttling. In gaming scenarios such as BGMI, device temperatures are reduced by 2–4°C* compared to conventional smartphones, allowing smoother, uninterrupted gameplay. At the centre of this innovation is OPPO's self-developed Storm Engine, the most advanced air-cooling technology ever implemented in a smartphone. Capable of delivering 220% more airflow than conventional smartphone fans and improving overall cooling performance by 20%, Storm Engine is the result of four years of development and nine design iterations. This compact, high-efficiency system integrates high airflow, full-level waterproofing, and ultra-low power consumption. Its precision-engineered L-shaped duct with ultra-low airflow resistance directs cool air directly to the processor for targeted heat dissipation, avoiding the volume sacrifices of traditional extended duct designs. An arc-shaped vortex tongue further optimises airflow uniformity, while the micro centrifugal fan—featuring industry-leading 0.1mm ultra-thin blades—spins at 18,000 RPM to boost airflow by an additional 20%. Thirteen ultra-thin 0.1mm heat dissipation fins expand the heat exchange area by 10 percent, tripling dissipation efficiency over conventional approaches. To address the challenge of limited internal space, the Storm Engine module is 70% smaller than traditional solutions, creating space for other components and enabling the integration of a larger 7000mAh battery without increasing thickness. Setting a new benchmark for durability, it is also the industry's only smartphone cooling fan module with full-level waterproofing, certified to IPX9, IPX8, and IPX6 standards. Complementing the active system is a large 7000mm² vapour chamber cooling and a 19,000mm² graphite layer, which passively distribute and dissipate heat across the CPU, battery, and display. Together, these systems maintain stable frame rates, accelerate recovery from heat build-up, and ensure comfort even in outdoor gaming conditions. Power. Precision. Performance. The OPPO K13 Turbo Pro 5G, powered by the flagship-grade Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, sets a new benchmark for mid-premium performance. Delivering a 31% boost in CPU speed and a 49% jump in GPU power over its predecessor, it effortlessly handles marathon gaming, intensive multitasking, and AI-driven applications. Its next-gen Adreno GPU, built on an advanced sliced architecture similar to Snapdragon 8 Elite, ensures ultra-smooth graphics and rapid frame delivery even in demanding titles. Beyond raw performance, the integrated NPU brings advanced on-device AI capabilities — from real-time image understanding to intelligent gameplay optimisations — without relying on the cloud, preserving privacy and reducing latency. Future-ready connectivity with Wi-Fi 7, 5G speeds up to 4.2 Gbps, and Bluetooth 6.0 guarantees uninterrupted online play and lightning-fast downloads, making it an elite choice for gamers and creators alike. On the other hand, the OPPO K13 Turbo 5G, driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 8450, combines efficiency with high-output gaming performance. Its All-Big Core architecture and enlarged L3 cache deliver up to 41% faster multi-core performance while cutting power consumption by 40% compared to the previous generation. Paired with the ARM G720 MC7 GPU, it sustains high frame rates and vivid visuals even under heavy load. The upgraded NPU 880 boosts AI efficiency by 40%, enabling features like real-time scene optimisation, lag-free voice commands, and smart system tuning. Designed for users who demand speed without sacrificing battery endurance, the K13 Turbo 5G delivers consistently strong gaming and multitasking performance, even in high-temperature, high-pressure environments. Made to Game, Built to Last The OPPO K13 Turbo Series is built for gamers who demand both peak performance and the ability to sustain it over long sessions. Its advanced cooling system works in tandem with a large vapour chamber and seven-layer graphite structure to deliver sustained performance, low thermal rise, and stable frame rates—up to 120FPS—even in demanding titles. Beyond cooling, the K13 Turbo Series is optimised for immersive and precise gaming. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 on the K13 Turbo Pro 5G enables Snapdragon enhanced Super Frame and Super Resolution, intelligently boosting frame rates and upscaling graphics in real time for sharper details, HDR visuals, and fluid motion without the need for a separate display chip. Precision control is delivered through the Synopsys 3910P flagship touch IC, Gaming Hot Zones calibration, Screen Protector Detection that maintains over 95% tap accuracy, Splash Touch for responsiveness with moisture, and Glove Mode for accurate input even with gloves up to 5mm thick. Dual stereo speakers, OReality Audio, and Ultra Volume Mode up to 300% provide a spatial and realistic soundstage, while AI Game Assistant features such as One-Tap Replay, Silent Launch, and Footstep Enhancer and X-axis linear motor give players a competitive edge. With India's only smartphone featuring an integrated cooling fan, the OPPO K13 Turbo Series combines power, sustained thermal control, precise touch, and immersive sound to set a new benchmark for mobile gaming in 2025. Battery That Lasts Like A Legend The OPPO K13 Turbo Series is powered by a 5-year durable 7000mAh large-capacity battery designed to deliver long-lasting performance and reliability. Supported by 80W SuperVOOCTM Flash Charge, the device can charge from 1% to 100% in just 54 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime. For uninterrupted gaming and extended usage, the series features Bypass Charging, which directs power straight to the motherboard when plugged in—reducing heat build-up during high-performance tasks and helping preserve battery health. The Intelligent Charging Engine 5.0 further enhances efficiency and longevity by intelligently adapting to usage scenarios.

Early career and strategic roles Following his graduation, Mohan embarked on a career that seamlessly combined technical expertise with strategic leadership. He began as a Senior Analyst at Accenture and steadily progressed to significant roles in corporate strategy and business operations. His time at Microsoft Corporation as Manager of Corporate Strategy, although brief, provided critical exposure to the complexities of business planning in the technology sector. Mohan's move to DoubleClick Inc. , where he served in senior roles including Senior Vice President of Strategy and Product Management, positioned him at the cutting edge of digital advertising, a domain that would define much of his later career.
