AIGDF Consilience 2023
Exploring India’s growing game development ecosystem
About Consilience 2023
Consilience is an annual conference hosted by the Law and Technology Society of the National Law School of India University, Bangalore. This year’s edition is organised in partnership with the All India Game Developers’ Forum (AIGDF), and explores India’s growing game development ecosystem.
Game development is at the heart of the country’s ‘Create in India’ movement, and has witnessed a splendid growth in the past 5 years. The availability of low-cost smartphones and minimal tariff internet has accelerated the rate of gaming consumption. Currently, there are over 500 gaming studios building for more than 400 million Indian gamers – which will only grow as 100% FDI has encouraged flow of venture capital in the sector from marquee investors.
Consilience 2023 will bring together leading Indian game developers, investment professionals, lawyers, and academicians to share ideas, discuss legal requirements, deliberate growth strategies and identify policy needs.
What To Expect
What’s the road ahead for India’s burgeoning gaming industry? Consilience 2023 will provide a platform for participants to gain valuable insights, connect with like-minded professionals and understand the legal, policy and investment landscape that will shape the future of the industry.
