Where precision meets proof

India’s gaming industry is poised for rapid expansion, with market size expected to reach $8.6 billion by 2028, driven by a growing gamer population and favorable FDI policies. Yet, despite producing approximately 40% of global game content, Indian studios account for less than 1% of global gaming revenues. Since 2021, VC and PE investment activity has softened, even as the sector continues to grow, while persistent talent shortages and limited formal training programs hinder the development of globally competitive games. To unlock the industry’s full potential, gaming companies must prioritize strategic investment in local talent development, strengthening capabilities and reducing reliance on high-cost foreign expertise.

India’s digital lending market is projected to surpass $500 billion by 2025, propelled by rapid technology adoption and growing credit demand. The Reserve Bank of India is actively shaping the sector’s evolution, introducing regulations that balance innovation with financial stability, and prioritizing transparency, data security, and borrower protection. Recent guidelines reinforce stricter standards for data security, risk-sharing, and credit information disclosure, aimed at containing rising NPAs. However, these measures have also increased compliance costs, driving higher infrastructure investments and pushing up lending rates. In this environment, lenders face the strategic imperative of navigating a complex, evolving regulatory framework while sustaining credit growth.
