LightFury Games (@Lightfurygames) has raised $11M in its Pre-Series A from us, V3 Ventures, MIXI, and Times Internet. The strategic investor list is worth reading twice: MS Dhoni (@msdhoni), Jasprit Bumrah (@Jaspritbumrah93), Hardik Pandya (@hardikpandya7), Shreyas Iyer (@ShreyasIyer15), Ravindra Jadeja (@imjadeja), Tilak Varma (@TilakV9), and Sai Sudharsan (@sais_1509). All in as investors. We've backed LightFury from inception. The studio is building eCricket, a AAA mobile-first cricket title on Unreal Engine 5 with a licensed roster of 600+ professional cricketers. 150,000+ users already signed up for early access. This matters because Cricket has 2.5 billion fans globally. But it still doesn't have a definitive game that matches that scale of other sports such as EA Sports FC for Football and NBA 2K for Basketball. That's the gap LightFury is going after. Physics-led gameplay, real-time decision systems, AI-driven commentary. Mobile-first launch in 2026, with PC and console to follow. LightFury is 100 people strong, founded by Karan Shroff, Tina Balachandran, and Anurag Banerjee. Building from India, for the world. Karan Shroff, Co-founder & CEO says, "For us, this is about more than just launching a game. India has long been a gaming market, but now it is starting to build. We want to show that India can create world-class gaming IP for global audiences." Karthik Reddy, Co-founder & Managing Partner, Blume Ventures adds "We've backed LightFury from inception in their mission to build globally relevant gaming IP from India. Building an AAA game takes sustained creative excellence and deep technical expertise." Congratulations, Team LightFury. @BKartRed @AshishFafadia @sajithpai @sanjaynath @arpiit @TheKaranShroff @BanerjeeAnurag @TinaBalachandr1
