Bringing India’s forgotten games back to life; MobiKwik posts Rs 7.6 Cr net profit
Vinita’s unending fascination for traditional Indian games is the fuel that keeps Kreeda going. The Chennai-based organisation is dedicated to researching, documenting, and promoting the rich heritage of Indian games.
India's forgotten games are experiencing a resurgence through the efforts of Vinita Sidhartha and her startup, Kreeda. Founded in 2002, Kreeda traces centuries-old game boards carved into stone in historical sites such as temples, forts, and monuments across the country. By documenting these game boards, Kreeda aims to preserve the cultural heritage and bring traditional Indian games back to life for new generations.
The company offers playable game sets, workshops, exhibitions, and educational programs that reconnect people across generations and highlight the living aspect of these traditional games. In separate news, MobiKwik, a prominent fintech company, has returned to profit in Q1 FY27, posting a net profit of Rs 7.6 crore after a loss of Rs 42 crore in the previous year.
The company's revenue grew to Rs 58,700 crore, with a 50% YoY increase in GMV, driven by higher UPI transactions, a larger user base, and improved direct costs.
