Market Landscape
Matiks will operate in the fast-growing Indian gaming market, which is currently valued at about $3.8 Bn and is expected to touch the $9.2 Bn mark by FY29. However, it’s important to note that the Indian gaming market was largely dominated by real money gaming. With the 'Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025', real money gaming has been banned in the country. This has led to a halt in the real money gaming business of giants like Dream11, Games 24X7, and MPL.
