Times of India | 25 April 2025
Sarthak.G: A city-based mobile games startup has been selected for the Krafton India Gaming Incubator (KIGI) and will receive up to Rs1.2 crore in financial support and technical assistance for one year. Krafton, a South Korean mobile games provider, included Advaita Interactive among six Indian companies in the second cohort of KIGI.
The startup, founded by Judhajit Sarkar, is developing Inspectorium, a detective game set in a Steampunk-inspired version of Victorian-era Kolkata. With episodic cases, real-time AI-powered interrogations and immersive puzzle-solving, the game would be released across mobile, PC and VR platforms by next year, said Anuj Sahani, head of the KIGI programme.

"There is a common perception that not much e-sports development happens in Kolkata. Advaita Interactive has shattered that perception. KIGI has expanded its cohort from four to six startups, extending its reach to emerging gaming hubs like Kolkata and Madurai, among others. We will provide funding to the startup over the next year along with technological support," said Sahani.
