Studio Sirah, a Bengaluru-based studio that makes mid-core India-first games, has raised $2.6 million in its pre-series A round led by Kalaari Capital and its seed investor Lumikai.
According to Studio Sirah, the funds will be used to globally launch its flagship gaming title Kurukshetra: Ascension by June 2023. In addition, the funds will also help to build out its second title.
Founded by Abhaas and Prateek Shah, Studio Sirah builds mid-core games for mobile and PC, focusing on the Indian market.
Its flagship Kurukshetra: Ascension is a free-to-play card battler, themed on India’s two great epics – the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
