🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ India’s gaming market growth creates substantial opportunities for local developers

SuperGaming’s $100 million valuation reflects the broader momentum in India’s gaming sector, which is projected to reach $8.6 billion by 2027, driven by over 500 million gamers1.

The market has already grown from ₹23,000 crore (~USD 2.8 billion) to an expected ₹70,000 crore (~USD 8.6 billion) by 2027, representing a more than tripling in size2.

This growth has attracted significant investor interest, with 50 VC funds actively investing in gaming startups as of January 20252.

SuperGaming’s ability to attract investors like Bandai Namco and a16z Speedrun demonstrates how Indian gaming companies are increasingly viewed as viable partners for global expansion rather than just local market plays.

The company’s 200 million installs across its portfolio and 9 million downloads for Indus Battle Royale show they’re capturing meaningful market share in this rapidly expanding ecosystem.
