Salone Sehgal On Gaming's Move From The Fringes To The Mainstream With Jamsters

Gaming has moved from a fun activity on the fringes to mainstream culture, and Salone Sehgal has watched that shift from the inside as a banker, a founder and an investor.

On the Jamsters podcast, host Hardik sits down with Salone, Founder and Managing Partner of Lumikai, whom the show introduces as the world's first female General Partner of a gaming-focused fund. A jury member at the BAFTA Games Awards in 2017 and recipient of the Women Economic Forum's Iconic Women Leader award in 2018, she brings a rare global view to India's games and interactive media.

She talks about supporting gaming entrepreneurs in India, opens up about the challenges of building TrulySocial, a women-focused gaming venture, and reflects on her years at Morgan Stanley, Barclays and London Venture Partners in Europe. The conversation also covers the growth of India's interactive media landscape, fundraising opportunities, what it takes to build successful games in India, and the findings of Lumikai's India Gaming Report 2021.

If you're building a games company in India, or wondering how the industry got here, this is a rewarding listen.
