Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional banks often lack deep understanding of gaming business models, revenue cycles, and asset types (like IP). We are specialists. Our underwriters understand customer LTV, microtransactions, and esports economics. Our products are built for your industry's specific needs, from royalty-backed loans to tournament cash flow financing, with faster approval processes.

Not at all. We work with companies at all stages. Our "Studio Launch Pad" product is designed for pre-revenue indie teams with a strong prototype and business plan. For early-stage startups, our venture capital arm provides equity funding. We believe in partnering early and growing with our clients.

Our legal and compliance team, led by former RBI officials, is expert in the evolving regulatory landscape for gaming, fintech, and digital assets in India. We ensure all our products and services are fully compliant with Indian law, including GST, TDS on winnings, FEMA for cross-border transactions, and data localization requirements. We also actively engage with industry bodies to shape sensible regulation.

Terms are highly customized. For a standard growth capital loan, interest rates typically range from 11% to 15% p.a., with tenures of 1-5 years. We offer flexible collateral options, including IP rights, future royalty streams, and equipment. The key differentiator is our repayment structuring, which can be aligned with seasonal revenue peaks common in gaming (e.g., post-holiday season).
