Now in its 16th year, the India Game Developer Conference (IGDC) has become one of the world’s leading and South Asia’s biggest game developers’ conferences. It’s a major catalyst for the growth of the Indian gaming ecosystem, bringing together game developers, publishers, and investors. IGDC supports and empowers game developers with insights, skill-building, and networking opportunities with industry leaders and investors.
Game Connect aims to empower students and cultivate talent for the Indian gaming industry. Indian colleges can participate by forming teams for game jams under faculty guidance. Winners receive certificates, free tickets to IGDC, and internships with top game studios. This initiative sparks curiosity about gaming careers and provides essential knowledge and exposure to help students succeed.
Developer Days are single-day events held in various cities across India, providing opportunities for game developers to connect, collaborate, and grow together. Currently active in Delhi NCR, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Kochi, and Guwahati, these events aim to enrich and diversify India’s gaming ecosystem.
