Gaming Industry

Indian online gaming segment is expected to more than double at Rs 29,000 crore by FY25, as per a report by KPMG. Many industry experts envisage the online gaming segment to be among India’s largest segments of the media and entertainment industry in the coming years. 

Indian Startups in the gaming segment are also doing their best to accelerate the gaming ecosystem. Last year, New Delhi-headquartered e-gaming startup WinZO launched Game Developer Fund II worth $5 million (Rs 37.5 crore) to accelerate the gaming ecosystem in India.

Recently, WinZO also raised $65 million in a Series C funding round led by a California-based venture capital firm investing in the gaming ecosystemGriffin Gaming Partners.
