  • Siddharth Jain, PlaySimple’s co-founder, has moved into the role of Chairman of the Board.

  • Co-founders Siddhanth Jain, Preeti Reddy, and Suraj Nalin have stepped down following a transition period.

Capital Markets Day 2025: Focus Areas

The CMD will feature presentations and panels around three themes:

  • Market leadership – MTG’s positioning in the global mobile gaming market.

  • Transformation – details of the new operating model and strategic growth drivers.

  • Growth – financial performance, capital allocation, and long-term outlook.

Spotlight sessions will also cover RAID: Shadow Legends, AI applications in game development, and upcoming titles.

“When we became a mobile-first pure-play group in 2022, we had a clear vision to become one of the leading mobile gaming groups in the world. The acquisition of Plarium enabled us to take a major leap forward. We continue to have high ambitions, and I look forward to sharing our future vision and strategy at Capital Markets Day.”
