According to a report by Primus Partners, India's gaming industry is expected to grow from $3.8 billion in FY25 to $9.2 billion by FY29, with mobile gaming accounting for 90% of the market. This surge is fueling a shift among Indian game studios from outsourcing to creating original intellectual properties (IPs) rooted in local culture. Companies like SuperGaming and LightFury Games are capitalizing on this trend with titles such as Indus Battle Royale and E-cricket, blending Indian themes, characters, and experiences with high production values. As local players show increased willingness to pay for culturally relevant content, Indian developers are embracing the opportunity to lead development and build globally competitive, homegrown games—despite a recent dip in funding.
