For developers, investors, and gaming enthusiasts, IGDC 2024 is more than an event—it’s a pivotal opportunity to forge connections, gain insights, and explore the future of India’s gaming industry. Sridhar’s message is clear: “If you’re serious about game development, you should be at IGDC. This is where ideas turn into businesses and dreams turn into reality. Missing it means missing out on what could be the next big thing in Indian and global gaming.”
With over 5,000 attendees, IGDC 2024 will feature insights from executives at companies like Meta, Google, and Microsoft on trends shaping the gaming landscape. Indian gaming leaders such as Krafton India and Nazara will share perspectives on regional challenges and opportunities. Investors from Lumikai and Play Ventures will also discuss the future of gaming in India, providing valuable insights for studios focused on scaling in the industry.
The conference floor will feature over 100 exhibitors showcasing the latest tools and trends in game development. The expanded Indie Zone, supported by Xbox, offers indie studios a platform to showcase their work, connect with mentors, and attract investors. Select studios will have subsidized booths, providing exposure that could be critical for securing future collaborations and funding.
The Young Indie Scholarship Program will grant early-career developers access to the event, accommodations, and mentorship, reinforcing IGDC’s commitment to building a sustainable game development ecosystem in India.
This year’s IGDC will also mark the debut of the Game Developer Association, co-founded by some of India’s leading gaming studios. Adding to the event’s evolving profile, several Indian states will set up dedicated pavilions at IGDC, mirroring the national showcases seen at global events like GDC and Gamescom. Representations from Nagaland, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and other states will highlight each region’s unique contributions to game development, providing a platform for showcasing local talent and innovations to a diverse audience.
For attendees, IGDC is more than a conference—it’s an opportunity to gain insights, make connections, and shape the direction of the Indian gaming industry. As IGDC strengthens its position as a premier event in Asia, it underscores India’s growing influence on the global gaming stage, linking Indian talent with international markets and positioning the country as a key player in gaming’s future.
