Rooter is India’s Leading Game Streaming Platform.
Consider us as Twitch of India, but with focus on the massive mobile gaming market of more than 350 mn gamers. India has emerged as one of the biggest market for games like FreeFire, Call of Duty, Pubg (making a comeback soon) and League of legends (launching soon on mobile). Game Streaming is the biggest category built around Gaming evolution and traditionally has created unicorns like Huya, DouYu in less than 2-3 years in markets like China and Twitch globally.
Rooter is at the perfect intersection of Gaming and Content surge in India.
We added more than 18 mn users in last 12 months, with active MAU of 7.5 mn. We built a product that has 43% M1 retention and 29% M6 retention. It’s a very sticky product. We have more than 550k creators streaming on Rooter per month.
And most importantly Rooter has been no.1 app in Sports Category on Google Playstore since Oct 2020. That’s 6 months, competing against apps like Cricbuzz, Cricinfo and many other gaming apps.
We have raised close to $4mn so far in 3 rounds and are closing a Series A soon. Our investors include PayTM, IeAD (Adidas Family Office from Germany), Anthill Ventures, Founder Bank Capital and Venture Catalysts. Also angels like Boman Irani and Rana Duggabatti.
We are expanding our team now to take us to next phase of our story and make Rooter the biggest gaming content platform in India and then SE Asia.
