Tencent on Friday (May 15, 2026) signed two Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC) and Game Developers Association of India (GDAI) to work with country’s gaming and Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) sector.

The Chinese tech company has re-entered India and committed an initial investment of over ₹100 million in resources and programmes spanning curriculum development, industry training and mentorship.

The three-year MoU, Tencent will work with SEPC to strengthen national capacity building, facilitate industry dialogue, and support Indian AVGC companies in accessing international value chains.

Tencent and GDAI will focus on developer engagement, including a National Game Jam targeting over 10,000 students annually, train-the-trainer programmes reaching educators across colleges and participation in the Indian Game Developers Conference (IGDC).

Tencent also said that it will explore partnership opportunities with broader local institutions to further strengthen the AVGC ecosystem, spanning internships, professional exposure, and knowledge exchange.

“Our goal goes beyond investing in programmes. We want to work with local partners to build practical pathways for talent, creators, and studios. By combining India’s creative strengths with Tencent’s expertise, we hope to support a more connected and globally competitive AVGC ecosystem,” said Danny Marti, Head of Public Policy and Global Affairs, Tencent.
