Arman is the in-game leader of Orangutan, competing as Aaru. He joined the roster on 15 July 2024 and has led the squad through its most decorated stretch, including the Battlegrounds Mobile India Showdown 2025 title.

Orangutan's published results since his arrival include the Showdown 2025 championship, played from 18 September to 12 October 2025, where the team finished first, and the iQOO Battlegrounds Series title from 21 July to 10 August 2025. The squad also placed second at Clash of Champions Season 2 in July 2025. Reports describe the Aaru-led lineup slipping to third on the final day before retaking first in the penultimate game. The squad's October 2026 run ended ninth in the BMSD 2026 Last Chance on 79 points, short of the Grand Finals. The results above are recorded as Orangutan squad results.

Aaru's individual record features the Best IGL award from the Battlegrounds Mobile India Showdown 2025, reported alongside Orangutan's title win. His earlier teams are on the record above: OR Esports, Midwave Esports and FS Esports before the Orangutan move in July 2024.

Before Orangutan, his route ran through three other rosters. Liquipedia's transfer table starts him at OR Esports in March 2022, where he was part of the side that finished second at BMPS 2022, then Midwave Esports from August to November 2023 and FS Esports from January to April 2024. He also took a weekly Motorhead award at BGMI Masters Series 2022 during the OR Esports spell.
