India Gaming: Where are we today? And what lies ahead?
The past year has tested the industry’s assumptions, on regulation, monetization, and scale. Investor sentiment shifted, but the fundamentals of the Indian market remained robust.
This session offers a clear-eyed recap of the year: what changed, what didn’t, and what it sets in motion, especially as we look ahead to the next four years of building, consolidating, and defining what gaming in India will truly become.

Game Development Going Global from India: Can It Happen?
India has long had the ingredients to build global gaming companies, but ambition and potential haven’t yet translated into global impact. Meanwhile, markets like China and Turkey have shown what's possible with the right mix of investment, execution, and ecosystem support.
This session explores what it truly takes for Indian studios to break out internationally — and what’s holding them back. From capital to creative risk, publishing muscle to policy support, we’ll examine the hard truths and the emerging signals of change.

Publishing in India – The Landscape and the Leverage
In India, the publishing playbook is still being written. With most developers self-publishing by necessity, and major platforms just starting to invest seriously in the market, there’s no single formula.
This session brings together global publishers, local innovators, and developer voices to break down what publishing in India really looks like and where it needs to go. From the economics of user acquisition to the nuance of localization and device optimization, we'll look at what’s working, what’s broken, and what publishers are really looking for in titles.
We’ll also explore success stories, where publisher-developer partnerships have moved the needle on monetization, discoverability, and growth.
