Gamezop Commits to Expand in ME with New Office in Bahrain

India-based casual games company Gamezop has committed US$4 million to grow its presence in the Middle East with a new office in Bahrain.

The investment will support its operations as it aims to hire local talent, complete potential acquisitions, onboard 1,000 new apps and target an additional US$6 million in revenue within 18 months.

Founded in 2016 and backed by BITKRAFT Ventures, Gamezop is based in Gurgaon. The company provides 9,000 apps in 70 countries by offering casual games through an instant play model.

A new beginning

Gamezop said that its new Bahrain office would also serve as its HQ in the MENA region.

“We chose Bahrain for its strategic location, business-friendly environment, and access to the wider region," said Gamezop co-founder Gaurav Agarwal.

“We anticipate Bahrain will continue to attract leading global companies to establish their regional hubs here, thanks to its forward-looking policies and the proactive support of the Bahrain Economic Development Board, which has been instrumental in supporting our expansion.

“Our presence here marks the beginning of what we hope will become a strong digital bridge between India and the Middle East.

Bahrain Economic Development Board executive director of ICT Musab Abdulla commented: “Bahrain’s gaming and content creation ecosystem is building strong momentum, powered by robust digital infrastructure, supportive government initiatives, and a growing pool of ambitious, creative talent.

The arrival of innovative companies like Gamezop further accelerates this growth, creating new opportunities for local developers and reinforcing Bahrain’s position as a hub for creative industries in the region.”
