Dikshit met Ruth Parasol when he was only 25 years old.  He was asked to write some proprietary code for Starluck Online Casino.  This code would replace the software that they were currently using.  Parasol allocated a considerable number of company shares as she felt his skills were invaluable to the future of PartyGaming's business. 

 

Dikshit stepped down from the board of directors at PartyGaming in 2006 so that he could head the company's special projects, research and develop new products.
