1312 Interactive raises $1m in seed funding round

1312 Interactive, a publishing house founded in 2024 by Deepak Gurijala and Raviteja Mantena, has successfully raised $1 million in its seed funding round. The funding, led by T-Accelerate Capital and ChimeraVC, will be used to bolster 1312 Interactive's publishing infrastructure. This includes expanding operations into emerging markets and providing ongoing support to developers in various areas such as production, marketing, QA, localisation, and distribution.

In addition to the funding, 1312 Interactive is introducing 1312 Playground, a community-driven initiative aimed at providing studios with access to playtesting, feedback, and audience insights prior to their game's launch. The company, which officially launched its operations in February 2025 following a pre-seed funding round, is India's pioneering PC and console game publishing firm.

1312 Interactive has already published games such as Winds of Arcana: Ruination by Brewed Games and Palm Sugar: A Village Story by Mono Tusk Studios. Further releases scheduled for October include Souls of Bombarika by Street Lamp Games, We Are So Cooked by Dwarven Brothers, and Spaceman Biff from Prescription Studios.
