Spill Games secures $10.5 million Series A led by Elevation Capital

Spill Games raises $10.5 million led by Elevation Capital

Bengaluru’s own Spill Games announced on Monday that it has closed a $10.5 million Series A round. The funding was headed by Elevation Capital, while existing backers Centre Court Capital and PeerCapital also took part.

Founders and focus

The startup was set up in 2024 by three former PlaySimple Games employees – Om Misra, Tapan Ranjan and Harsh Garg. All three bring experience in free‑to‑play titles, and Spill Games now builds casual, puzzle and hybrid‑casual mobile games aimed at players around the world.

Funding details

The $10.5 million injection marks the company’s first institutional round. Elevation Capital, a veteran early‑stage investor in Indian technology ventures, acted as the lead. Centre Court Capital and PeerCapital, who had already backed the founders’ earlier seed effort, participated alongside.

How the money will be used

Spill Games said the bulk of the capital will be deployed for marketing its portfolio of games in overseas markets. The company plans to run user‑acquisition campaigns, forge partnerships with global app‑store curators and expand its analytics capabilities to fine‑tune player experiences.

What this means for India’s gaming landscape

The round arrives at a time when India’s mobile‑gaming sector is expanding rapidly, buoyed by affordable data and a youthful demographic. By attracting a sizable Series A cheque, Spill Games demonstrates that investors remain confident in home‑grown studios that can compete on a global stage. The deal also adds to Bengaluru’s reputation as a crucible for tech and gaming talent, reinforcing the city’s role in India’s broader digital economy.

Spill Games aims to release its next title later this year, with the new funding expected to accelerate both development and promotional activities. If the rollout succeeds, the startup could join a growing list of Indian game makers that have broken into the top‑grossing charts abroad.

The financing underscores a broader trend: Indian founders are increasingly able to raise substantial capital without leaving the country, signalling a maturing ecosystem that can nurture ideas from conception to worldwide distribution.
