The company plans to gain more than five million users from India, while also expanding its tournament services in MENA and SEA in 2022. Since the seed round in Dec 2020, Gamerji has increased its user base by 3x and is conducting more than 200 tournaments every day for more than 15 titles.
“The gaming industry in India is finally coming of age as the government is setting up the AVGC hub in Bangalore and against the backdrop of metaverse and Web 3.0. ESports is growing the fastest within the overall gaming market. Gamerji has demonstrated this thesis well given their growth numbers,” Bhaskar Majumdar, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures said.
