Excited to double down on LightFury Games along with Blume Ventures, V3 Ventures, and Times Internet.

Strong conviction in the team and their ambition to build AAA original IP out of India.
A defining moment for us at LightFury Games.

We’ve raised $11M USD in our Pre-Series A round, backed by Blume Ventures, V3 Ventures, Times Internet, and MIXI Global Investments - with the strong backing of Karthik B. Reddy, Arjun Vaidya, Satyan Gajwani and Tomoharu Urabe

What makes this moment even stronger is the support from those who have defined cricket for a generation.

We’re proud to welcome MS Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya alongside Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Tilak Varma, and Sai Sudharsan as investors in our vision.

Their collective belief carries weight and raises the bar for us.

For us, this is about staying relentless and focused on the long game, using this capital with intent, building with speed and discipline, and making 2026 our year to deliver eCricket from India to players around the world.

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
