#Exclusive: Gaming publisher Deftouch has secured an undisclosed amount of funding in a round co-led by KRAFTON, T-accelerate Capital and existing investor Lumikai. The round also saw participation from existing backers Visceral Capital and Play Venture 👇 The Bengaluru-based startup plans to deploy the capital to scale up its existing portfolio of games (King Of Cricket), develop new games and hire new talent. Deftouch cofounder and CEO Ninad Bhagwat told Inc42 that the startup will also utilise the funds to experiment with new features and build “bold concepts” going forward. “We love to experiment with bold concepts. Even though we are building a cricket game right now, we like to experiment a lot with features that might unlock certain monetisation schemes and so on,” Bhagwat said. Founded by Ninad Bhagwat and Keshav Sunder in 2017, Deftouch is a mobile-game developer that primarily focusses on the sports category. It claims to have around 2 Lakh daily users. The startup claims that its ‘King of Cricket’ game racked up 10 Mn downloads in 2024. To read the in-depth article, click here: https://lnkd.in/gMsVuyh2 #news #startup #funding
