Gaming company KRAFTON India has announced a strategic investment in BITKRAFT Ventures’ Global Fund deepening its commitment to supporting the growth of India’s gaming and startup ecosystem. The investment builds on the longstanding relationship shared by the two companies.

BITKRAFT Ventures is a leading global investment platform focused on gaming, interactive media and emerging technologies. It reflects a shared belief in the opportunities emerging at the intersection of gaming, technology and digital entertainment.

According to a joint press release yesterday, India has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s most dynamic markets for gaming and digital innovation, driven by a growing base of entrepreneurs building products with both local relevance and global potential.

Through this investment, the statement added that KRAFTON aims to expand access to capital, industry expertise and international networks for Indian startups, helping them scale faster and compete on a global stage.

The partnership also supports the continued maturation of India’s gaming ecosystem by connecting promising founders with resources that can accelerate long-term business growth.

Some of the early investments of the fund in India have been in Actioneer, an enterprise AI transformation platform and AiroClip, an AI-powered gaming studio.

The investment in BITKRAFT Ventures’ Global Fund further expands KRAFTON’s ability to engage with and support the next generation of entrepreneurs building from India for global markets.

Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO, KRAFTON India, said, “What stands out about India today is not just the scale of the market, but the quality of entrepreneurs emerging from it. We are seeing founders build with a global mindset from the outset, creating products and technologies that have the potential to resonate far beyond India.

“Our partnership with BITKRAFT Ventures reflects a shared conviction in this new generation of builders and our commitment to supporting them as they create the future of gaming and interactive entertainment.”

Jens Hilgers, Founding GP, BITKRAFT, said, “We are incredibly excited to deepen our relationship with KRAFTON in India through this strategic investment. India’s gaming and consumer AI ecosystem is at a thrilling inflection point, driven by exceptional talent and is now starting to see exits for global investors as well.”
