How did it start?
Incepted in 2019 by avid gamers- Satyam Rastogi, SiddharthSrivastava, KushagraTyagi, Harsh Prasad and ShashiBhushanVerma, the idea for the startup was conceived in the corridors of ANDC college and perfected in the ANDC incubator.
“The groundbreaking idea of KhiladiAdda was developed at a time when the eSports and fantasy gaming industry was still at a nascent stage in India. Most gaming platforms were riddled with challenges such as the dearth of innovative games, high commissions, data theft, fund blockages and lack of user support. With KhiladiAdda, we have achieved great admiration in keeping up with ever-evolving regulations, technology and user demands,” said KushagraTyagi – Co-founder & Head of Operations in Casual Gaming, KhiladiAdda
