Krafton to invest another $250M in India beyond gaming

Krafton, the South Korean gaming company behind PUBG and Battlegrounds Mobile India, plans to invest an additional $250 million in India over the next three to four years, expanding into AI, robotics, and deep tech. This new commitment brings its total planned investment in India to over $500 million, including the more than $250 million already invested since 2021. The pledge is separate from the $670 million India-focused growth fund Krafton unveiled with Naver and Mirae Asset in December 2025, to which Krafton committed about $137 million at first close. The announcement followed a meeting between Krafton chairman Chang Byung-gyu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. Krafton has backed about 18 Indian companies, including gaming studios, and recently acquired Nautilus Mobile and launched KIGI Academy.
