The funding will help grow SuperPlatform—SuperGaming’s cloud-based tech stack built with google Cloud. Designed for developers in emerging markets, it offers tools for analytics, monetisation, and community engagement to support live multiplayer games without needing complex backend infrastructure.

“We're building from scratch, not just from a game developer’s perspective of showing that these kinds of games can be made here, but also by providing tools that the community can use, infrastructure for players to participate, and support for streamers to create events that help talent emerge from across the country,”  founder Roby John said.

“Our thesis is straight forward: India is the fastest-growing gaming market globally and from that will emerge the next global giants in gaming. Our first round was about scaling development capabilities and this round is now about scaling global and unique hyper local publishing approaches,” said Sia Kamalie, founder and fund manager of Skycatcher.
