About WinZO Games


At WinZO, we are building the future of gaming at an unprecedented scale. India is at the cusp of a gaming revolution, and with 200 million users, we are leading the charge in a boundaryless, global sector that is redefining entertainment. The work we do here has no playbook—because we are writing it. We are solving problems that have never been tackled before, operating in a space that demands bold decisions and relentless execution. If you are looking for a place to make an outsized impact and operate at the highest levels of efficiency, this is it.


In just a few years, we have become India’s largest social gaming platform, facilitating 1 out of every 250 UPI transactions in India. With 100+ games across 12+ languages, we are making gaming accessible to everyone, across all devices, geographies, and demographics. This is gaming as the world has never seen before—designed, built, and scaled from India for the world.


Our ambitions stretch beyond borders. We recently expanded into Brazil, marking India’s debut at Latin America’s largest gaming conference, Brazil Game Show 2023. With a Made in India, for the World approach, we are proving that Indian technology can define the future of global entertainment.


We are backed by some of the world’s most prestigious investors, including Kalaari Capital, Makers Fund, Courtside Ventures, Griffin Gaming Partners, and Pags Group. Our capital-efficient approach has enabled us to conduct four employee stock liquidation events, creating real wealth for our team. At WinZO, growth is not a perk—it’s the foundation.


Technology is the heartbeat of our platform. We operate at a scale where every millisecond matters, building solutions that handle complex data at unprecedented speeds. Our elite team—with talent from Google, Amazon, Flipkart, McKinsey, and more—works on solving industry-first challenges every day. We don’t just build; we innovate, disrupt, and redefine what’s possible in gaming.

With over 50 patents across technology, product, and design, we drive innovation at the heart of everything we do. Technology at WinZO operates at a scale never seen before in gaming, impacting millions in real time. This is not a job for those who want to stay within comfort zones—this is a call to those who aspire to create solutions that become India’s intellectual legacy, who want to revolutionize global markets, and who are energized by challenges that push the limits of what’s possible.

We are an equal opportunity employer: we do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, gender, ethnicity, or disability status.
