India game developers’ meet at Hyd in Nov

Hyderabad India Game Developers Conference (IGDC) is organising its 15th annual developer conference at HICC, Hyderabad on November 2-4, 2023. Over 4,000 attendees and 150 plus speakers are likely to attend more than 100 hyperactive sessions at the event.

Fuelled by a robust ecosystem of developers and users, the Indian gaming industry has emerged as the world’s second largest market. It is estimated that by 2028, the Indian gaming market could touch $10 billion annually.

The massive 600 million plus smartphone user-base has given it a significant push. India has the highest mobile data consumption rate in the world at 20 GB per user per month. In-app purchases facilitated by UPI payments and localised content has also driven engagement.

Designed as an event ‘By the Industry, For the Industry,’ the conference is organised by industry volunteers, aided by corporates and industry leaders. Over the years, the IGDC has emerged as a major driver of growth of the Indian gaming ecosystem.

Upgrading every year, the conference series has been a must-attend event for scores of game developers, publishers and investors.
