Triple Tap Games secures funding from Eximius Ventures & Kalaari Capital to develop hybrid casual puzzle games from India for a global market.
National, India – February 26, 2025: Triple Tap Games, a Mumbai-based gaming studio has raised $1.2 million in a funding round led by Eximius Ventures and Kalaari Capital, along with prominent angel investors from the entertainment and gaming community. This investment will fuel Triple Tap’s mission to build a portfolio of innovative mobile games in the ‘relax and unwind’ category, tailored to a global audience. The company will utilise the proceeds to successfully launch and scale games in the US and Europe.
Triple Tap Games was founded by Karan Khairajani (CEO) in 2024, a serial entrepreneur with a proven track record of launching and scaling hypercasual games. Karan, as a co-founder of Firescore Interactive, led the development of some of the most famous hypercasual games from India like Soap Cutting, Acrylic Nails, and Hair Dye, amassing over 400 million downloads and generating millions of dollars of revenue.
Seeing a clear trend evolving in the hybrid casual gaming space and a lack of innovation in certain underserved genres, Karan ventured out after successfully exiting Firescore Interactive, to one of the top publishers in Israel, Crazy Labs. The team brings unparalleled cohesion and expertise to Triple Tap’s ambitious roadmap.
“We are excited to announce this fundraise, which will fuel our vision to build in the category of ‘relax and unwind’ games. Our team (Siddhesh Dhopatkar, Ravish Dhanawde, Hari Saurabh Singh, Makhmoor Syed, Harshad Joshi, Peter Pawan and Sankalp Jajodia), with over a decade of experience in the gaming space, is uniquely positioned to understand what players want. By leveraging AI, we’re building an extensive content pipeline to deliver truly engaging experiences. We’re grateful for the support of our distinguished VC funds and angel investors,” highlighted Karan Khairajani, Founder, Triple Tap Games.
“Triple Tap combines a world-class team with a clear vision to unlock the untapped potential of hybrid-casual gaming,” said Pearl, Founder and Managing Partner at Eximius Ventures. “Karan’s track record of building and exiting a globally recognized studio, coupled with his focus on a women-centric audience and leveraging AI to accelerate production and deliver fresh, high-quality content, makes this an exciting opportunity,” added Pearl Agarwal, Founder and Managing Partner, Eximius Ventures.
“Karan is one of the rare founders who brings deep passion and unique insights into the gaming market. His experience of building global games has equipped him to push boundaries and craft engaging experiences for players worldwide. We’re thrilled to partner with Triple Tap as they bring world-class hybrid-casual games to life — building from India, for the world”, said Harshit Kumar, AVP at Kalaari Capital.
Strategic Roadmap
With this capital, Triple Tap Games is building the foundation for long-term success. The company is investing to build robust internal capabilities in rapid prototyping, data analytics, distribution, and monetization. The funds will be key to attracting top industry talent and launching their first game.
