Krafton Unveils Rs 6,000 Crore Fund to Expand Investments Across India's Tech Ecosystem
- India-focused investment fund to support high-growth technology companies across multiple sectors
- Backed by Krafton, Naver, and Mirae Asset, with India at the center of the strategy
- Capital to be deployed across AI, fintech, media, healthcare, and consumer technology sectors
BGMI maker Krafton has announced a new India-focused investment fund of up to Rs 6,000 crore to support fast-growing technology companies. The fund has been launched in partnership with South Korean internet major Naver and global investment firm Mirae Asset, placing India at the center of its Asia investment strategy.
Named the Krafton–Naver–Mirae Asset Unicorn Growth Investment Fund, the platform will begin operations in January next year. The fund will start with an initial corpus of over Rs 3,000 crore and is expected to scale up to Rs 6,000 crore over time. Krafton will invest Rs 1,230 crore initially, while the remaining capital will come from its partners and external investors. Mirae Asset Venture India will manage the fund.
The fund will invest in high-growth technology sectors, including artificial intelligence, fintech, digital content, logistics, consumer goods, sports, media, and healthcare. While the fund will look at opportunities across Asia, India will remain its primary market.
This move marks Krafton’s expansion beyond gaming in India. The company has already invested more than $200 million in India’s digital entertainment ecosystem through startups and initiatives such as the Krafton India Gaming Incubator.
Krafton India CEO Sean (Hyunil) Sohn said, the fund aims to identify sustainable Indian businesses that generate both economic and social value. He added that the company wants to build long-term trust as a brand in India by investing across multiple sectors.

The fund further strengthens India’s position as a key market in Krafton’s long-term growth strategy.
