Esports platform Let’s Game Now and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) startup QwikBuild have raised fresh capital.
Let’s Game Now
Esports and gaming tournament platform Let’s Game Now has raised Rs 30 crore (around $3.2 million) in a funding round backed by Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra and a UAE-based family office.
Let’s Game Now is led by CEO Santanu Basu and organises online tournaments, offline gaming events and live broadcasts across South Asia and Southeast Asia.
The company will use the fresh capital to accelerate the development of Indian Super Gaming League (ISGL) and build a platform connecting players, fans, teams, brands and entertainment. Let’s Game Now said it has a community of more than 1.4 million members, has organised over 2,000 events and served more than 30 clients across 18 countries.
It claims that its grassroots network spans over 400 colleges in more than 80 cities, reaching upwards of 700,000 students.
Bestvantage Investments advised the company on the transaction.
Bengaluru-based QwikBuild, an enterprise AI startup that develops customised business software and AI agents to automate operations, has raised $2.3 million (nearly Rs 22 crore) in a pre-seed funding round backed by Globalway Inc., Blume Ventures, Marsshot and DeVC, alongside individual investors including Groww founder Lalit Keshre and Cure.fit founder Ankit Nagori.
Founded by Pradeep Ayyagari, QwikBuild uses AI agents to build enterprise applications in days rather than months, either replacing legacy systems, adding customised software layers to existing platforms such as SAP and Salesforce, or developing applications from scratch.
The company will use the fresh capital to expand its technology and enterprise deployments.
QwikBuild said it is already working with enterprises across the US, Singapore and India.
