Chimera VC is excited to announce our investment in 1312 Interactive. We're proud to have co-led the $1M seed round, alongside T-Accelerate Capital, with participation from Ventana Ventures and angel investors Rahul Reddy, G. Rohan Murukutla and Dasari Srinivas.
Founded by Deepak Gurijala and Mantena Raviteja, 1312 Interactive is building a dedicated publishing platform for PC and console games, helping studios with everything from production and marketing to QA, localisation and distribution.
The team is also building 1312 Playground, bringing real player feedback and hands-on testing into the development process well before launch.
Why we backed them
Game development has been democratised faster than publishing has. There is now a large cohort of developers with genuine taste and no route to market, and this team has spent their careers on both sides of that gap. We're thrilled to partner with the entire 1312 Interactive team as they build the next generation of game publishing from India.
