Kstart’s summit on the future of gaming is the perfect opportunity for startups looking to up their game. Don’t miss it!

Contrary to popular belief, playing is serious business, at least as far as the gaming industry is concerned.

With greater penetration of smartphones and handheld devices, more access to reliable and fast internet, and significant improvement in the micropayments infrastructure, the online gaming industry is poised for big growth. According to a recent report by Nasscom and App Annie, last year, the global mobile gaming market alone was worth $37 billion. Of this, India’s share as the 19th largest market was $523 million, a mere 1.6 percent.

This is small change, considering that India has had a rich and ancient tradition of games. In fact, legendary wars have been waged based on the outcome of a game of dice. In Q2 2016, India ranked fifth globally in terms of game downloads, and is soon expected to surpass Russia and Brazil to become one of the top three gaming markets in the world.

There is tremendous headroom for growth in this space, especially for startups looking to disrupt things and change the game.

The Kalaari advantage

Kalaari Capital & Kstart, as part of their continued endeavour to bring thought leadership dialogue to the startup community, are hosting an insightful discussion on the future of gaming – Let the Games Begin – in collaboration with the Nasscom Gaming Forum.

The event, being held on June 8 in Bengaluru, aims to further the growth of gaming startups and the gaming ecosystem in India. Thought leaders from the industry; entrepreneurs disrupting the gaming space; and investors focussed on gaming will come together on a single platform, to give startups looking to make a global impact a leg up in the space.

Speakers and panellists include industry leaders from the gaming ecosystem who will share their learnings and experiences, and talk about the global opportunities these companies can explore. Other topics including monetisation, marketing, design, and customer retention will also be discussed.

If you’re a gaming entrepreneur, don’t miss this unprecedented opportunity to get in on the action and come away with a better understanding of the space.

Be a part of the event.
