Gamezop, a plug-and-play gaming platform, has announced its international expansion with a wholly-owned subsidiary in Bahrain. The Indian company is investing $4 million to accelerate operations, hire local talent, and explore acquisitions.
With the investment, the company aims to onboard 1,000 new apps in the Middle East, eyeing $5–6 million in additional revenue over 18 months.
Bahrain will be Gamezop’s HQ for the Middle East.
Backed by BITKRAFT Ventures, Gamezop was founded in 2016 by Yashash Agarwal and Gaurav Agarwal and is headquartered in Gurgaon. It enables over 9,000 apps across 70 countries to offer casual games to their users without having to procure, host, or manage the games themselves. This plug-and-play model helps apps increase both user engagement and monetisation.
Gaurav Agarwal, co-founder of Gamezop, said, “We chose Bahrain for its strategic location, business-friendly environment, and access to the wider region. We anticipate Bahrain will continue to attract leading global companies to establish their regional hubs here, thanks to its forward-looking policies and the proactive support of the Bahrain Economic Development Board, which has been instrumental in supporting our expansion. Our presence here marks the beginning of what we hope will become a strong digital bridge between India and the Middle East.”
He added, “Gamezop aims to build the world’s largest distribution network for digital content – we started with games and expanded to verticals like quizzing, astrology, and cricket. As digital platforms continue looking for growth, Gamezop is increasingly becoming a key part of their monetisation stack. We are proud to be part of India’s journey in building technology that serves the global market.”
