Minister Murugan expressed particular appreciation for Krafton's contributions to the Indian gaming industry and investments in the startup ecosystem, and shared expectations for educational and technological exchanges, as well as potential cooperation in the media and entertainment industries between the two countries.



Kim Changhan, CEO of Krafton, said, "It was a meaningful occasion to directly discuss the development and cooperation direction of the gaming industry with the Indian Minister of Information and Broadcasting. Going forward, we will continue educational exchanges, local game development, and investments to contribute to the growth of India's gaming ecosystem and provide users with an even better gaming experience."
