The creator of India’s battle royale game BGMI, KRAFTON India, is expanding its gaming incubator program. KRAFTON India Gaming Incubator (KIGI) was first launched in October 2023 and aims to support talented Indian game developers, transforming their ideas into successful gaming ventures.
Earlier, only two developers were selected, but now KIGI is accepting applications for more developers to join their initiative. The KIGI program is supporting teams with finances ranging from $50,000 to $150,000.
Moreover, teams will also have the chance to raise these finances to $250,000. Along with selected startups, game development teams will have exclusive access to a powerful toolkit for mobile app marketing research called AppMagic, along with cloud credits.
