Nodwin Gaming raises Rs 232 crore of equity investment from five investors

Nodwin Gaming, a subsidiary of Nazara Technologies has signed definitive and binding documentation to raise Rs 232 crore from new and existing investors. The majority of these funds will be channelised towards growing the gaming and esports ecosystem of Nodwin by expanding and incubating newer IPs, growing the emerging market footprint of Nodwin and for strategic acquisitions that drive value to the network. 

As per the statutory filing, all existing investors of Nodwin Gaming (Nazara, Krafton, Inc. and JetSynthesys) will join new incoming investors in this funding round. 

Nodwin last raised funds in March 2021 from South Korean gaming company Krafton, Inc. at Rs 988 crore value and this round values Nodwin at Rs 2,624 crore pre-money and Rs 2,862 crore post money which leads to a value accretion of 2.7X in two years. 

“I am extremely grateful and blessed that we have been able to exhibit a revenue CAGR of 68% over the last two years in a tumultuous market. We have managed this growth while maintaining profitability in our business and gaining a globally dominant position in mobile esports while delivering shareholder value. The team in Nodwin led by cofounder Gautam Virk has been instrumental in manifesting this vision into reality. As we migrate to the next phase of our evolution, we would like to build a global company that is a significant thought leader and the largest player in the emerging market space. We believe that the confluence of gaming, esports and youth culture is colliding extremely fast and we would like to continue to build our value proposition as a Sports Media Company (with a focus on esports) to this TG by focusing on the timeshare of their mindshare as the key growth metric” said Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Nodwin Gaming. 

This deal was spearheaded by Sidharth Kedia, CEO of Nodwin Gaming. Murtaza Somjee from Jerome Merchant + Partners was the legal advisor.
