The strategic blueprint aims to accelerate India’s rise as a global powerhouse in the gaming industry- to generate $10 billion in annual gaming content exports, $100 billion in value creation and two million jobs by the year 2035.
Day one of IGDC 2025 saw a record response with over 3000 attendees, reaffirming the event’s position as one of Asia’s most influential gaming gatherings. The expo floor opened with over 75 stalls showcasing Indian and global gaming studios, publishers and tech partners; over 60 free Indie game studios, offering visitors a deep dive into next-gen gameplay, tools, and immersive entertainment experiences.
A key highlight was the participation of the minister, who addressed the industry and held closed-door policy discussions with leading founders and CXOs of marquee video gaming and interactive entertainment companies present in India.
