Could the next global gaming hit come from a bedroom in Bengaluru? Roblox thinks so. At its “UNBOX ROBLOX” event in New Delhi, the company released an India Economic Impact report and backed it with a bold claim from Sunil Rao, its Managing Director for India and South Asia: this is the age of small studios.

## Why India, Why Now?

[Roblox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox) is a platform where users play and also build their own games. India is a natural fit, with more than 500 million gamers, the world’s second-largest gaming population. The report projects industry revenue growing from ₹6,300 crore in 2025 to ₹9,200 crore by 2028. That is about 13% annual growth, against roughly 5.1% worldwide.
