The programme, Krafton India Gaming Incubator (KIGI), will offer up to $150,000 in grants to each game studio while providing guidance across categories such as game design, product monetisation, performance marketing, art and visuals, among others.

The selected studios include Kleanup Games, Advaita Interactive, Singular Scheme, Smash Head Studio, Unwind Games, and Ginger Games across cities such as Madurai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi respectively.
