Krafton doubles down on India with another $250M bet beyond gaming

Krafton, the South Korean gaming company known for PUBG and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), announced a new $250 million investment in India over the next three to four years, bringing its total planned investment in the country to over $500 million. This includes previous investments since 2021 and additional funding through a $670 million India-focused growth fund co-founded with Naver and Mirae Asset. India has become a critical market for Krafton, offering access to a large population with significant internet penetration. While the company faced regulatory challenges, such as the 2020 ban on PUBG Mobile, it adapted by launching BGMI and moving operations to Microsoft Azure. Despite past issues, Krafton continues to invest in Indian startups and expand its local presence through acquisitions and educational programs.
