Anurag Dikshit Next Education Institute
At age 26, Dikshit was asked by Partygaming founder[6] American Ruth Parasol to write the company’s betting software. His programme enabled gamblers around the world to play one another in poker. After seeing Anurag’s impressive skills with programming firsthand, he was given a large number of shares in the company to continue working with PartyGaming.
In 2000, Dikshit hired a friend from his alma mater, Vikrant Bhargava, to begin working at PartyGaming with him and others. Party Poker was launched in August 2001, just prior to the pokerindustry as a whole enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity in America. As television programs, new books and celebrities got involved with poker, online poker skyrocketed in popularity. Dikshit's platform, which allowed 20,000 simultaneous users, proved inadequate and new technology was adopted allowing 70,000 simultaneous users.

In May 2006 Dikshit stepped down from PartyGaming's board of directors to develop new products as head of the company's research and special projects and left PartyGaming completely in November 2006.[7] As of December 2008 he still owned approximately 28% of the company's shares.[8]
Despite PartyGaming being one of the first online gaming companies to pull out of the US market, in December 2008, Dikshit agreed to cooperate with the U.S. Justice Department in an investigation of PartyGaming. Dikshit entered a guilty plea to one count of online gambling in violation of the Federal Wire Act and agreed to forfeit $300 million. 'I came to believe there was a high probability it was in violation of U.S. laws', Dikshit told U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff in New York, referring to PartyGaming’s activity. 'I have taken full responsibility for my actions.'[9] It was Anurag who initiated the process with US Department of Justice,[10] even though the Department of Justice had not opened a case against him. Dikshit no longer personally owns any shares in PartyGaming, the proceeds of the share sales completed in January 2010 [11] having been donated to the Kusuma Trust.
