Bengaluru-based game maker Studio Sirah has raised $2.6 million in a pre-Series A funding round from Kalaari Capital and Lumikai to launch its flagship gaming title ‘Kurukshetra: Ascension’ and to develop a second gaming title as well.
Founded by Abhaas and Prateek Shah, Studio Sirah builds mid-core games for mobile and PC, focusing on the Indian market. The game maker claims that its Kurukshetra: Ascension’s beta version has clocked 120,000 downloads till date.
“Over the last year, we have built a mid-core gaming studio and launched a game which has both cultural resonance and global quality. The response has been good, both in India and abroad, and it is evident that there is a market for Indian content,” said Abhaas Shah, co-founder and chief executive at Studio Sirah.
