IDXChannel - Indonesia has participated as a partner country at the India Gaming Show (IGM) 2024 taking place in Pune, Maharashtra on 14-16 March.
According to a media release issued by the Indonesian Consulate General in Mumbai on Monday (18/3/2024), the India Gaming Show 2024 offers an opportunity for Indonesian game developers to expand their reach, especially with India.
The Indonesian Consul-General in Mumbai, Edy Wardoyo, expressed Indonesia's commitment to increasing bilateral cooperation with India, especially in the trade, investment and creative industry sectors. The similarity of cultural roots shared by the two countries is a strong potential factor in the acceptance of Indonesian game products in India.
The Indian gaming market is projected to reach USD5 billion in 2025.
The Indonesian Pavilion presented four of the country's leading game studios, Hexaplay, Anantarupa, Ginger Sun Studio, and Marica, as well as representatives from the Indonesian Game Developers Association (AGI).
One of the important achievements of this exhibition was the exchange of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) between Anantarupa studio and Jio Games for the exclusive licensing and publishing of Lokapala games in India through the Jio Games Ecosystem. Ginger Sun Studio secured an initial commitment for a publishing collaboration with Soft Source Publisher for the game “Unrivaled Heroes" worth USD40,000.
