Bengaluru: Skillz Inc., has announced the opening of its new Bengaluru office — its second corporate headquarters. The move marks the company’s formal debut in India and signals a major growth phase aimed at driving product innovation, engineering, and advanced analytics by tapping into the country’s world-class talent pool.
The Bengaluru innovation hub will focus on new product development, cutting-edge engineering, and data-driven insights. By establishing its second headquarters in India, Skillz underscores its belief in the strength of the country’s growing gaming ecosystem and its potential to shape the future of competitive gaming.

“Bengaluru is more than just our second headquarters — it’s the heartbeat of Skillz’s next chapter,” said Gaurav Verma, Global General Manager, Skillz Platform. “India is where the next generation of gaming innovation will be imagined, engineered, and scaled. With its unmatched creative and technical talent, we see Bengaluru as the launchpad for Skillz’s most ambitious ideas—from pioneering game formats to powering real-time, high-stakes competition at global scale. For anyone who dreams of shaping the future of competitive gaming, this is your moment to join an iconic platform from India and build for the world.”
With this expansion, Skillz plans to cultivate a culture of innovation, experimentation, and excellence. By next year, nearly 50% of its product, engineering, and analytics teams will be based out of Bengaluru.
