Brands GameRamp, Shortgun Games, and EON Space Labs have secured funding for the purpose of expansion and growth.
In the dynamic world of technology, Indian companies are making significant strides, particularly in the fields of gaming, artificial intelligence (AI), and space technology. Recent funding rounds and development updates indicate a robust momentum in investments and industry growth.
Gaming:
Indian game developer Shortgun Games, founded by the original creators of Rogue Heist, has raised USD 5.4 million in a pre-seed funding round. The studio's debut project is a console-grade, narrative-driven shooter exploring themes of identity, instinct, and transformation. The funds will be used to create a polished vertical slice of their game.
Shortgun Games, primarily based in India with select international collaborators, has also secured USD 1 million in seed funding. This additional funding will aid in the advancement of development for a cinematic third-person shooter.
Artificial Intelligence:
The AI sector in India is also seeing substantial growth. Application-focused AI companies such as SuperOps and Atomicwork each raised USD 25 million in 2025 for AI solutions enhancing operational efficiency. India’s deeptech sector, significantly powered by AI, saw a 78% funding surge in 2024 compared to 2023.
Space / Semiconductor Sector:
India's semiconductor ecosystem is expanding with multiple new manufacturing plants and government-backed initiatives. For instance, EON Space Labs, an Indian space technology startup, has raised USD 1.2 million in a pre-Series A funding round. EON Space Labs plans to release MIRA, which will be India's lightest high-resolution space telescope.
Funding and Collaborations:
GameRamp, headquartered in San Francisco with a research and development hub in Bengaluru, has raised USD 5.4 million in a pre-seed funding round. The funding round was led by BITKRAFT Ventures, with Anuj Tandon, Partner at BITKRAFT Ventures, praising GameRamp's focus on developer outcomes.
GameRamp will use the funds to accelerate the launch of two services, Sentinel and Grow. Sentinel is an AI platform for real-time personalization of in-game economies and monetization, while Grow is an embedded financing layer for seamless access to capital for developers.
To enhance combat sequences, GameRamp collaborated with Bollywood action director Vicky Arora. The studio also plans to seek an additional USD 5 million in its next funding round to move into full production.
