The Game Developers Association of India has selected the inaugural batch of 15 studios for Supernova, its national incubation initiative. The program, which launched in July 2026, runs for three months and aims to support participating developers. The selection drew from a competitive pool of over 260 applicants, indicating substantial interest in the initiative across India's game development sector.
Supernova represents an organized effort to cultivate homegrown talent and studios within the Indian games industry. By narrowing a large applicant base to just 15 studios, GDAI is positioning the program as a selective accelerator focused on quality over quantity.
- GDAI's Supernova program selected 15 studios from 260+ applicants for its inaugural cohort, establishing a competitive entry bar.
- The three-month incubation cycle launched in July 2026 with the goal of fostering game development talent across India.
- Strong application numbers suggest robust interest in structured support programs within the Indian games development community.
