Meta Gaming Accelerator launched to power up India's next-gen game devs and studios
India's gaming scene is growing rapidly fueled by mobile-first users, a booming creator economy, and emerging tech like AI. At the Meta Marketing Summit: Gaming Edition, Meta announced a new initiative aimed at pushing this momentum further: the
Meta Gaming Accelerator
.
Launched in collaboration with Bitkraft Ventures, Kalaari Capital, Lumikai Fund, and Elevation Capital, the accelerator will support 20–30 small to mid-sized
Indian game developers
and studios in its first phase. The focus is on providing hands-on guidance in areas like monetization, user acquisition, AI-driven game design, and expanding to global markets.
Participants will dive into ad monetization strategies, learn to integrate Meta's tools like Llama for personalization and storytelling, and receive mentorship from VC partners and industry experts. The program culminates in a Demo Day, where developers showcase how they've used Meta's ecosystem to tackle real-world growth challenges potentially unlocking visibility and funding opportunities.
This move reflects Meta's broader investment in India's
digital economy
and gaming as a space where culture and business intersect.
