Creating Games That Connect The World
Gameberry Labs is a premier mobile gaming studio from India, with over 250 million downloads worldwide[citation:1]. We create social multiplayer experiences that bring people together.
Our Vision & Journey
From a bootstrapped startup to a global gaming phenomenon, Gameberry Labs has redefined mobile gaming in India[citation:1].
Building India's Gaming Future
Established in 2017 and headquartered in Bangalore, Gameberry Labs began with a simple yet powerful vision: to become the premier game development company on a global scale[citation:1]. Founded by IIT-Kharagpur alumni Afsar Ahmad and Govind Agarwal, we started our journey with a passion for creating games that people would love to grow old with[citation:9].
Unlike many gaming startups, Gameberry Labs has remained bootstrapped and profitable since inception. We achieved the remarkable milestone of crossing $100 million in lifetime revenue in November 2021, with consistent growth demonstrating the strength of our business model[citation:9].
Our games are more than just entertainment—they're social platforms that connect people. During the COVID-19 lockdown, our games became a lifeline for families and friends separated by distance, helping them stay connected through shared gameplay experiences[citation:9].
Our Sustainable Business Model
Gameberry Labs operates on a free-to-play model with in-app purchases and rewarded ads. 70% of our revenue comes from in-app purchases, while the remaining 30% comes from rewarded ads[citation:9]. This balanced approach ensures we can continue developing amazing games while keeping them accessible to everyone.
