SuperGaming wraps up Powerplay Phase of its Indus International Tournament

Indian game developer SuperGaming has successfully wrapped up the Powerplay Phase of its Indus International Tournament for its Indo-Futuristic battle royale game, Indus.

Team Zero Gravity emerged as champions, claiming Rs 10 lakhs in prize money. Their captain, Sandeep “[ZG]Sgod” Pandey, stood out with 37 kills and 21,747 damage, securing the MVP title and Rs 1 lakh for his amazing performance.

SuperGaming CEO and co-founder Roby John said, “With Indus, we’re rethinking the traditional esports playbook by focusing on grassroots tournaments, creator-led events, and co-ownership opportunities that turn players and fans into real stakeholders. Instead of chasing unsustainable models, we’re building a community-first framework that drives engagement, retention, and monetisation—from in-game items to merch and transmedia content. Esports isn’t just a competitive format for us—it’s a storytelling engine where real-world players become heroes as part of the game’s evolving universe. We believe India has a unique opportunity to lead the next wave of global gaming—and we’re laying the foundation to make that happen.”
