Spill Games Raises $10.5 Mn To Scale AI-Led Mobile Gaming Studio

What happened

Mobile gaming studio Spill Games has raised $10.5 Mn (about ₹100 Cr) in a Series A (an early stage of company funding) round led by Elevation Capital, with participation from existing investors Centre Court Capital and PeerCapital. The Bengaluru-based startup said it would use the fresh capital to scale its existing games, expand its development pipeline, strengthen the AI and technology capabilities of its Compass engine, acquire users, and selectively grow its team.

Founded in 2024 by Om Misra, Tapan Ranjan, and Harsh Garg, the gaming startup builds free-to-play casual, puzzle, and hybrid-casual mobile games for global audiences using an AI-led, portfolio-driven studio model. Its in-house engine, Compass, brings together tools for analytics, player retention, monetisation, and live operations.

The startup said this lets it reuse infrastructure across games and shorten the time taken to develop and test new concepts. It is targeting development speeds of roughly 4X those of traditional approaches.
