Tencent, a Chinese technology giant, has committed over ₹10 crore to bolster India’s gaming and AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) sectors. The company signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) and the Game Developers Association of India (GDAI) to enhance ecosystem development. The partnership with SEPC aims to strengthen India’s global position in AVGC services exports by improving national capacity building and facilitating industry dialogue. Under a three-year agreement, Tencent will help Indian AVGC companies access international value chains.

Initiatives include a National Game Jam targeting over 10,000 students annually, Train-the-Trainer programs for educators, and participation in the Indian Game Developers Conference (IGDC). Beyond these MoUs, Tencent will explore additional partnerships with local institutions to expand opportunities in internships, professional exposure, and knowledge exchange. The goal is to create structured pathways for developers, creators, and studios, fostering a globally competitive gaming ecosystem in India. The commitments were announced in May 2026, marking a significant step toward strengthening India’s position in the global gaming and AVGC industries.
