Xigma Games, an indie studio headquartered in Bangalore, has achieved notable success with “The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands” and “The Bonfire 2: Uncharted Shores”, which together have amassed over 10 million downloads. The studio’s latest project, “Metal Haven”, is a free-to-play, sci-fi action-strategy game.

Nikhil Kamath, investor and entrepreneur, commented, “Growing up, we were occupied by simpler things – a game of cricket or even just being outside. That was a large part of my childhood. For the younger generation, gaming has taken that place, creating new avenues for creativity and interaction. This fund is a small step in supporting companies that have made a mark with their innovative games, and I look forward to seeing them push boundaries even further.”
Nitish Mittersain, Founder and CEO of Nazara, added, “At Nazara, We are committed to nurturing the next generation of gaming talent in India and it great to join hands with visionary tech pioneers such as Nikhil Kamath to act on the vision of our Prime Minister in building strong gaming talent in India that can build games for the world”
