"It was a meaningful occasion to directly discuss the development and cooperation direction of the game industry with India's Minister of Information and Broadcasting," Krafton CEO Kim Chang-han said. "In the future, we will continue educational exchanges, local game development and investment to contribute to the development of the Indian game ecosystem and provide users with a better game experience."
