Bitkraft Ventures plans to significantly boost investments in India’s gaming and esports industry, following regulatory clarity from the government’s new online gaming bill.
Bitkraft Ventures, a global company, is all set to take part and invest in Indian gaming scene. They’re planning to invest a lot more money in Indian game studios, esports teams, and gaming platforms.
New Opportunities in Indian Gaming after Regulatory Changes
Recently, India banned online money games and many were worried about the gaming scene in India. But Bitkraft actually saw it as a good chance to do something big. The Indian government made it clear, they want to support esports, mobile games, and the tools to help build games.
This sounds indeed like good news, as more companies would want to invest now.
Anuj Tandon, one of the big decision-makers at Bitkraft, said the new rules give them more confidence to put money into India. He says India has a lot of talent and is great at mobile gaming with lots of amazing stories. So Bitkraft wants to help the country’s gaming scene grow the right way.
Focus Areas For Bitkraft’s Investment
The strategy Bitkraft follows for India revolves around:
- Creating original gaming IPs tailored for both Indian and global audiences.
- Investing in gaming infrastructure, such as publishing platforms and development tools.
- Leveraging artificial intelligence to power next-generation interactive media.
Bitkraft is also excited that more people in India are starting to spend money inside games like buying characters, skins, or subscriptions instead of just watching ads. Some games in India might even make over $100 million a year by the end of 2025.
Jens Hilgers, who helped start Bitkraft, said that this is a special moment for India’s gaming world. Now that there are clear rules, investors like him feel more confident about supporting Indian companies for the long run, not just short-term wins.
He said it’s all about trust, player safety, and growing the right way which will help Indian companies compete with the best in the world.
Backing India’s Homegrown Talent
Bitkraft isn’t just talking, they’re already backing Indian startups. They helped GameRamp, a company that uses AI to help game developers publish games. Bitkraft led a big funding round for them worth $5.4 million.
They’ve also invested in others like StockGro, Mythik, Lila Games, and Gamezop. So yeah, they’re serious about this.
And it’s not just money, they’re also giving these companies support, advice, and access to their worldwide team to help Indian games go global.
So, if you love gaming, want to make games someday, or dream of becoming an esports star, this is a really exciting time. With Bitkraft jumping in and India’s gaming scene leveling up, the future is looking awesome.
