On May 27th, 2025, Kerala Startup Mission, Kalamassery, hosted an exciting edition of Dev Day—an initiative by GDAI, powered by Krafton, with Playsuper as Associate Sponsor. Kerala Startup Mission and SAIK proudly served as Knowledge Partners, helping make the event a huge success.
With over 70 participants from diverse tech and creative backgrounds, this marked the third time Dev Day was held in Kerala, and it once again exceeded expectations. Kochi was among the select few Indian cities chosen by GDAI to host this event, highlighting Kerala’s growing game development ecosystem.
The day featured inspiring keynotes, hands-on sessions, project showcases, and lively discussions from industry leaders likeAnuj Sahani (Krafton), Abhir Das (Playsuper), Prince Thomas (MetaShot), Dr. Jake Koshy (Norian Games), and panel discussions featuring Mukesh Dev (CEO & Founder, Banzan Studio), Jim Jose (CEO & Founder, Dynamic Next), Tom Thomas (COO, KSUM), Jayraj G (Director, CDIT), Anando Banerjee (Lakshya Digital), Fr. Dr. Jaison Paul Mulerikkal (Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology), and Prannay Suvarnaa (Women in Games). Each speaker and panelist brought a unique perspective that made every session resonate.
We at SAIK are deeply grateful to GDAI, especially Machaiah Kalengada, for making us a Knowledge Partner in this extraordinary journey. Dev Day Kochi is no longer just an event—it’s a dynamic platform that fuels innovation, sparks connections, and inspires the developer community to dream big. We’re proud to be part of this growing ecosystem, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries together!
