What IndiGG does

IndiGG is a Web3 play-to-earn gaming platform and the India subDAO (sub-decentralized autonomous organization) of Yield Guild Games (YGG), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Bengaluru, India. The platform's core function is onboarding Indian gamers into Web3 gaming by providing access to NFT gaming assets, educating players on play-to-earn mechanics, and supporting community events. It operates as part of YGG's global network, which originated in the Philippines through co-founders Gabby Dizon, Beryl Li, and Owl of Moistness, with the mission of creating income opportunities through NFT-based gaming.

The platform is built on Polygon blockchain technology, enabling low-cost NFT transactions. Its product surface centers on the IndiGG Platform — a self-serve web hub where individual gamers join the ecosystem and access NFT assets for multiple Web3 games — plus an NFT Badge System (StyleHODL, BUIDL, Creed, Aura) that allows users to mint collectible blockchain-based identity badges. Marketing and distribution run community-led via Discord, Twitter, Telegram, and newsletter channels, with player referrals flowing from YGG's global network.

IndiGG monetizes through transaction fees tied to NFT asset provision and ecosystem participation; no specific pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The customer base is concentrated in Indian individual gamers, and the company has stated plans to expand geographically into Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. The company raised $6 million in seed funding in January 2022 led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia Capital India), with participation from Animoca Brands, Jump Capital, Play Ventures, and over 20 other investors. The developing entity Kratos Studios subsequently raised $20 million in seed funding in February 2023 at a $150 million valuation.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Yield Guild Games (YGG): Parent organization and global Web3 gaming guild; directly comparable because IndiGG is its India subDAO and operates the same play-to-earn scholarship model with NFT asset provisioning.
• Axie Infinity (Sky Mavis): The original play-to-earn game that catalyzed the entire guild model; IndiGG's NFT asset provisioning model is directly tied to Axie's in-game economy, and Sky Mavis is the foundational partner for many guild operations including YGG's origin.
• Animoca Brands: Major Web3 gaming investor (and IndiGG investor) operating a broad portfolio of game studios, NFT platforms, and metaverse projects; relevant as a comparable Web3-gaming-ecosystem builder and IndiGG's largest backer.

Direct peers

• Merit Circle: Web3 gaming DAO that provides NFT assets and scholarships to players in exchange for a share of in-game earnings — the same core business model as IndiGG, with a global rather than India-only focus.
• Avocado DAO: Asia-focused Web3 gaming guild offering NFT scholarships and play-to-earn opportunities; directly comparable to IndiGG's scholarship/NFT-asset-provision model and Asian geographic emphasis.
• GuildFi: Web3 gaming and NFT guild network focused on Southeast Asia and Thailand; offers NFT scholarships and play-to-earn infrastructure similar to IndiGG, with overlapping regional targeting in emerging markets.
• Ancient8: Vietnam-based Web3 gaming guild and community running scholarship programs on Axie Infinity and other titles; comparable NFT-asset-provision business model and emerging-market focus to IndiGG.
• Good Games Guild: Web3 gaming guild and decentralized autonomous organization that invests in and operates NFT gaming assets for players — same scholarship and play-to-earn infrastructure as IndiGG with multi-region presence.
• YGG Pilipinas: Philippines-focused YGG subDAO operating the same scholarship and community model in a different country; serves as the closest structural analogue to IndiGG's role as the India subDAO.

Others

• Polygon Labs: Blockchain infrastructure partner and enabler of IndiGG's platform; comparable as the underlying technology stack provider for Web3 gaming guilds and NFT economies, with deep gaming vertical partnerships.
