Detailed Review

History

Baazi Games was founded in 2014 by Navkiran Singh along with co-founders Puneet Singh, Avneet Rana, Varun Ganjoo, and Anirudh Chaudhry. The company launched PokerBaazi as its flagship product, quickly establishing it as one of India’s largest poker platforms. Over time, the company expanded into other real-money gaming verticals, including rummy and fantasy sports.

Products and Platforms

The company operates several consumer-facing brands: PokerBaazi (Texas Hold'em and Omaha, tournaments and cash games), SportsBaazi (sports prediction), and CardBaazi/RummyBaazi (rummy). It also offers PokerBaazi School, a free-to-play learning app. On the B2B side, Baazi Games licenses its technology stack—covering platform engineering, game technology, real-time systems, and responsible gaming tools—to other gaming companies.

Business Model

Baazi Games generates revenue primarily through real-money gaming operations on its own platforms, where it takes a rake or fee from player stakes. Its B2B division provides an additional revenue stream by licensing its technology to international partners. The company emphasizes responsible gaming and regulatory compliance, having paused real-money games on PokerBaazi in response to the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025.

Recent Developments

In 2025, Nazara Technologies acquired a 47.7% stake in Moonshine Technology Private Limited, the parent entity of PokerBaazi, for approximately ₹832 crore ($99.2 million). This investment is expected to fuel expansion into new game formats and international markets. Financially, Baazi Games demonstrated growth with revenue exceeding ₹104.7 crore in FY24. The company maintains a headcount of around 390 employees, though its legal entity Baazi Games Private Limited reported only one employee in its most recent filing, reflecting its complex corporate structure.
