As someone in the tech investment space, I'm impressed. The range from game asset creation to transforming smartphones into consoles shows deep innovation. The investor panel is crucial - hope it leads to real funding, not just talk. India's gaming scene is finally getting serious.

Waah! 18 million users for an Indian cricket game is no small feat. The AI art platform sounds like a game-changer for indie developers. My only concern is whether these innovations will be affordable for small studios or only for big companies. Hope the summit addresses that.

Great initiative, but I hope this isn't just another "showcase" that fizzles out. We need sustained policy support and easier access to capital. The 13 country pavilions are a smart move for collaboration. Let's build, not just present.

Console-grade gaming on smartphones? That's the future for a price-sensitive market like India. This summit could put us on the map. The key is to build for the world, not just for us. Jai Hind!

Finally seeing gaming being treated as a serious industry and not just "time-pass". The interactive storytelling angle is exciting - imagine AI-powered games based on our epics like Mahabharata with immersive experiences. The potential is huge.
