Indian and Korean teams to compete across Krafton’s titles in celebratory matches

Celebrating the occasion, the company is also hosting the India-Korea Invitational matches. Top teams from both countries will face each other across Krafton’s popular esports titles next month during the celebratory event.

During the meeting, Chang also stressed the importance of the Indian market for Krafton and stated his intention for the company’s growth to follow India’s development. In order to improve India’s gaming ecosystem and provide consumers new gaming experiences, he stressed the need for collaboration between the two countries.

Krafton India also recently announced their plans to invest $150 million in the Indian gaming sector. This will further help in growth of already established firms while also encouraging new gaming startups to rise.

The recent changes in GST for online gaming only affected the real money gaming sector, leaving the video game industry with chances of higher growth. Recent investments from other foreign investors will also greatly help in giving the gaming sector a boost.
