After receiving a remarkable response from gamers in India and the MENA region, Gamerji is now set to capture the rapidly growing esports scene in Southeast Asia. Known as the epicenter of esports, Southeast Asia is experiencing significant growth due to advancements in gaming hardware, robust internet infrastructure, and cutting-edge streaming technology.
Gamerji, headquartered in Ahmedabad, has gone live with eight popular game titles including PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, MLBB, Valorant, Clash Royale, CS:GO, Rocket League, and FIFA. New users will be welcomed with virtual currency and a free three-day subscription upon joining. Gamerji is accessible via its website and is also available on Android and iOS stores. The company aims to add 1 million users from the Southeast Asia region over the next 12 months.
Founded in 2019 by gaming expert and serial entrepreneur Soham Thacker, Gamerji aims to bridge the gap between amateur and professional gamers by providing them with a credible platform to hone their skills. The platform allows gamers to compete, host matches, communicate, and gain recognition for their gaming prowess.

The company boasts a registered user base of over 10.8 million and aims to surpass 20 million within the next year.
