The disclosed round sizes show a clear outlier: Mobile Premier League raised $150M on 2021-09-15, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts such as WinZO’s $65M (2021-07-02) and Fanclash’s $40M (2022-06-17). On the low end, Oneiric Gaming’s $100K on 2021-12-03 is the smallest disclosed figure, with several other sub-$1M rounds clustered around $300K–$500K (e.g., Sahaj Gaming $350K on 2024-01-18; Chirrup $300K on 2021-03-18).
Geographically, the Bangalore/Bengaluru area appears repeatedly (Xigma Games 2024-11-15; Sahaj Gaming 2024-01-18; esportsXO 2023-12-05; HighXP 2023-06-13; AltWorld 2023-03-01; Studio Sirah 2023-01-25; Bombay Play 2022-04-04; plus WinZO is in New Delhi, not Bangalore), while London-like city concentration is less evident outside India’s metros. Temporally, the 26 entries span 2020-04-01 (My Game Mate) to 2024-11-15 (Xigma Games), and most high-visibility rounds are dated in the 2021–2022 window (e.g., Mobile Premier League 2021-09-15; Rooter $25M on 2022-01-12; Fanclash $40M on 2022-06-17).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding round in this India gaming list, and how different is it from the rest?
Mobile Premier League’s $150M round on 2021-09-15 is the largest disclosed amount and it significantly exceeds the next-largest disclosed figures: WinZO at $65M (2021-07-02) and Fanclash at $40M (2022-06-17).
Are there any very small disclosed rounds that stand out relative to the mid-range?
The smallest disclosed amount is Oneiric Gaming’s $100K on 2021-12-03. Several others cluster near the sub-$1M band, including Sahaj Gaming ($350K on 2024-01-18) and Chirrup ($300K on 2021-03-18), which sit far below the multi-million rounds like Game Theory’s $2M (2023-10-16) or Studio Sirah’s $3M (2023-01-25).
Do the disclosed rounds cluster in time, or are they evenly spread across 2020–2024?
The listed rounds span 2020-04-01 to 2024-11-15, but the bulk of the clearly large disclosed checks land in 2021–2022, including Mobile Premier League ($150M, 2021-09-15), WinZO ($65M, 2021-07-02), Rooter ($25M, 2022-01-12), and Fanclash ($40M, 2022-06-17).
Is there a noticeable city hub effect in where these gaming startups are based?
Bengaluru/Bangalore appears repeatedly across multiple rounds: Xigma Games (2024-11-15, Bangalore), Sahaj Gaming (2024-01-18, Bengaluru), esportsXO (2023-12-05, Bengaluru), HighXP (2023-06-13, Bangalore), AltWorld (2023-03-01, Bengaluru), Studio Sirah (2023-01-25, Bengaluru), and Bombay Play (2022-04-04, Bangalore).
How common are undisclosed amounts or non-numeric amounts in this set, and does that affect size comparisons?
A substantial share of entries are labeled “undisclosed” (e.g., Xigma Games on 2024-11-15; PadelPark on 2024-08-23; Hitwicket on 2024-04-02), so the largest-vs-rest comparison is based only on the disclosed figures. Within disclosed amounts, the range runs from $100K (Oneiric Gaming, 2021-12-03) up to $150M (Mobile Premier League, 2021-09-15).
