Scopely aims to actively participate in the future of gaming by supporting new and innovative ideas created for players. While IndiGG focuses on India’s gaming community with a mission to provide gamers the opportunity to make a significant impact in their lives through the blockchain, Scopely is set to partner with teams to help shape the games on the horizon. The fund will help Indian gamers enter the thriving web3 gaming world and raise awareness of the benefits of play-to-earn and web3.
While this investment aims to expand the company’s gaming capabilities and empower players to forge their paths, other partnerships on the horizon are a testament to Scopely’s focus on the blockchain space.
Sequoia Capital India, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Variant Fund, Play Ventures, Dune Ventures, Jump Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, Transcend Fund, Animoca Brands, Scopely, Backed and Sfermion, IVC, Emfarsis, and many more participated in the kickoff round.
Angel investors in the round included Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian, Brevan Howard Asset Management co-founder Alan Howard, and several executives from the Indian gaming and entertainment industry, including Mobile Premier League (MPL), Hungama, Nazara, WinZo, and Hindustan Talkies.
IndiGG has announced that it will soon support Axie infinity, Pegaxy, Fancy Birds, Nyan Heroes, Nitro League, and many other NFT assets. Scholarships will be awarded to community members who show loyalty to the guild and have the potential to excel in a particular game. Receiving a scholarship will allow the member to rent NFTs and start playing without buying NFTs.
