Reflecting SuperGaming’s commitment to the Indian esports community, the studio also unveiled its year-long esports roadmap titled ‘Clutch India Movement’. This initiative begins with the Indus International Tournament, which offers a staggering prize pool of INR 2.5 million and brings together top Indian and international teams to compete across four tournament phases. This tournament will be followed by the Indus International Mahasangram in October 2025.

In addition to its own first-party tournaments, SuperGaming has also planned various community events to promote emerging talent within the community. By providing Indus’ proprietary tools, the company aims to enable third-party tournament providers to host events and tournaments with the same efficiency as SuperGaming.

These initiatives underscore SuperGaming’s commitment to fostering a vibrant esports community that offers players not only intense competition but also significant support for their professional development in the ever-evolving gaming industry.
