MUMBAI: Strategy-based cricket gaming app, Hitwicket will organise a community event on October 6, 2024, in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Over 100 Hitwicket players will gather for a day packed with thrilling activities. The event will be broadcast live on YouTube, allowing Hitwicket fans worldwide to participate virtually. Additionally, a finalist from the previous edition of the YC Tournament will also be present, engaging with attendees from the Hyderabad Hitwicket community.
It noted that there are annual gatherings done by global gaming studios like Krafton and Epic Games. This event will feature award presentations, recognition ceremonies, activities, goodie giveaways, and a mocktail dinner party.
This event comes in alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent remarks about the immense scope of India’s online gaming sector, acknowledging its potential to drive innovation and create new career opportunities for the nation’s youth. Hitwicket said that it embraces this vision by actively encouraging young talent to participate in both playing and developing games that are proudly made in India.
The aim is to allow developers to engage with their user base.
Hitwicket’s co-founders, Kashyap Reddy and Keerti Singh said, “We’re beyond excited to host this event and bring our community together in person. Our game has grown rapidly, and events like these give us the chance to celebrate that success. We’re already planning more offline meetups to encourage gaming that helps players not only have fun but develop strategic skills for real-world application.”
Hitwicket said that it has surpassed 10 million downloads. It has backing from the likes of Prime Ventures and veteran commentator Harsha Bhogle. Recently, the company launched a gaming accelerator fund in collaboration with ISB Ventures and announced the appointment of industry veteran Anand Ramachandran as their new creative director to continue scaling globally.
