The Initiative
Games24x7 stands as a beacon within this flourishing Indian gaming domain. It is a brainchild conceived in the minds of Bhavin Pandya and Trivikraman Thampy, economists with the sage-like insights of their New York University tutelage, who sculpted it into existence in the hallowed year of 2006. Through their vision, Games24x7 burgeoned, claiming its realm in the auspicious world of skill-based gaming, spawning formidable progenies such as RummyCircle, My11 Circle, and the joyous playground of UGames. In the grand tapestry of its achievements, 2022 enshrined a pivotal milestone when the company
held aloft the unicorn standard with pride, propelled by an influx of $75 million in a Series C funding round — a distinction held by only a select few in the Indian gaming panorama. Yet the narrative of ‘GameTech Accelerate’ isn’t merely a new jewel to bedeck the crown of Games24x7 — far from it. This initiative is an embodiment, a declaration of the company’s unwavering dedication to sowing the seeds of entrepreneurship and kindling the fires of innovation within the expansive fields of the gaming industry. Encompassing an elaborate spectrum — from the creation of diverse and engaging game genres to the heightened precision of real-time analytics, and the fortifications of security against the Machiavellian machinations of cheating, to fostering a greater communion between game and gamer — the accelerator program is casting an ensemble of support and guidance to startups eager to carve their mark in the gaming universe, poised to devise transformative solutions.
