## About

Founded in 2024 in India, 1312 Interactive focuses on creating captivating video games. The company's journey began with a commitment to fostering creative collaboration, leading to their flagship game, Palm Sugar. The company was co-founded by Deepak Gurijala (CEO) and Mantena Raviteja. In September 2026,1312 Interactive raised USD 1 million in seed funding co-led by Chimera VC and T-Accelerate Capital, with participation from investor Ventana Ventures. 

1312 Interactive specializes in the development and publishing of video games, with a primary focus on delivering immersive gaming experiences that resonate with players. Their flagship title, Palm Sugar, invites players to take on the role of Srinu, a young boy tasked with saving his village from a drug cartel, while also providing a unique gameplay experience where users can possess objects to manipulate environments, solve puzzles, and combat supernatural forces. The company primarily serves the PC and console gaming markets and aims to cater to a diverse customer base that includes both independent and established game developers. By fostering collaboration with creators from various backgrounds, 1312 Interactive aims to distribute unique and high-quality gaming experiences globally, targeting markets in North America, Europe, and Asia, where gaming engagement is notably significant.

1312 Interactive generates revenue through partnerships and collaborations with game developers and studios, focusing on the publishing side of the gaming industry. The company structures its transactions around mutual agreements that prioritize clarity and mutual benefit, ensuring that both parties feel valued in the relationship. Revenue is derived from various models, including direct-to-consumer sales of their games and potential licensing fees from developers looking to leverage 1312 Interactive's publishing capabilities. The firm may also engage in marketing support and community-building efforts post-launch, enhancing the longevity and market performance of their titles. While specific pricing plans for their offerings are not detailed, the company's commitment to providing flexible funding solutions indicates a tailored approach that aligns with the developmental needs and financial strategies of their partners.

The company will use the September 2026 funding to expand its indie game publishing operations across emerging markets, strengthen its portfolio of premium PC and console titles, and support developers through production, marketing, distribution, and platform partnership services. The investment will also facilitate the launch and growth of 1312 Playground, a community-driven platform designed to help developers gather player feedback during the game development process, thereby enhancing game quality and market reach.
