SPiCE TheReunion 2025: India’s Gaming Industry is Writing Its Comeback Story

SPiCE TheReunion 2025 isn’t your typical conference. This year’s theme says it all: “The Comeback Story: Rebirth and Resilience in India’s Gaming Future.” It’s a rallying cry for everyone who believes this industry has more lives than a video game character.

Think of it as part strategy session, part reunion, and part celebration of what happens when an entire sector decides to level up together. Over two dynamic days, policymakers, operators, investors, regulators, legal experts, and technology innovators will gather to examine how India’s gaming industry can adapt, innovate, and demonstrate resilience in an evolving regulatory landscape—while seizing opportunities in eSports, casual gaming, and international expansion.

Exclusive Insights from Priya Ahlawat, Founder of Jumping Play Studio

Ahead of SPiCE TheReunion 2025, Priya Ahlawat, Founder of Jumping Play Studio, shared her perspective on what makes this gathering so special and what she’s most looking forward to in Goa.

Reflecting on her experience, Priya remarked:

“I had the pleasure of attending SPiCE Goa 2023, which was an enriching experience both professionally and personally. It opened doors to valuable business connections and even lasting friendships. I’m excited to be part of SPiCE TheReunion 2025 as it promises to bring the industry’s best minds together once again, fostering collaboration and future partnerships.”

On how her entrepreneurial journey has shaped her outlook, she shared:

“My journey in gaming began in 2018, when I took the bold step of founding Jumping Play. Each day since has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with incredible peers. It has taught me the value of persistence, adaptability, and passion in building something meaningful.”

When asked about what makes teams thrive, Priya emphasized empowerment:

“Teams thrive when they’re trusted and empowered. Giving people ownership, the freedom to experiment, and the confidence that their ideas matter brings out their best. For me, it’s also about understanding your people and creating a bond beyond work.”

On advice for new entrepreneurs, she encouraged openness and positivity:

“Keep an open mind for learning, embrace challenges, and build strong connections. This industry is dynamic and ever-evolving, and passion makes all the difference. If you genuinely love what you do, every day feels exciting and full of possibility.”

Looking ahead to SPiCE TheReunion 2025, Priya summed up her hopes for delegates:
