Qila Games To Become New Powerhouse in Hybrid-Casual Gaming World
Founded in 2024, Qila Games is the brainchild of visionary leaders Dhananjai Hari and Neeraj Mishra, who have assembled a dynamic team of engineers, designers, and creative minds. The company strives to craft games that seamlessly merge entertainment, social connection, and skill enhancemen, which is a trifecta that promises long-term players engagement.
Unlike Real Money Gaming (RMG) or esports, Qila Games operates within a distinct gaming format, which offers inclusive and immersive gaming experiences without the monetary risks associated with traditional RMG platforms.
Qila Games has set its sights on India and the Middle East, two rapidly growing mobile gaming markets. By creating culturally relevant yet globally resonant games, the company seeks to fill the gap between hyper-casual simplicity.
The company’s vision is to foster joy, social connectivity, and sustained engagement through innovative gaming formats that appeal to both casual and competitive players alike.
The $1 million seed funding from Visceral Capital and Chimera Venture Capital shows investor confidence in Qila Games’ disruptive potential.
