Deftouch (formerly All Star Games) has raised a fresh round of funding, co-led by Krafton India, Lumikai, and T-Accelerate Capital. The funds will be used to scale their game ‘King of Cricket’, develop newer titles, and expand the team.
Founded by Ninad Bhagwat and Keshav Sunder, Deftouch has shown remarkable resilience and focus in building hybrid-casual sports games for mobile audiences. Their flagship game, ‘King of Cricket’, has scaled to over 10 million installs with 200K+ DAUs. The game is currently the #2 trending cricket game in the Google Playstore and continues to resonate with a passionate cricket-loving user base.
Krafton’s participation highlights the increasing potential of Deftouch and King of Cricket. The support from such a large gaming strategic like Krafton and their collaboration with Deftouch is expected to push new boundaries in delivering high-quality gaming experiences and setting new benchmarks in the industry.
With cricket followed by over 600 million Indians and the sport’s ecosystem sized at $3.2 billion, Deftouch’s ability to merge gaming with cricket resonates with truly Indian motivations towards entertainment.
We are excited to see the next phase of growth for Deftouch and the potential that lies ahead.
