Kreeda gets backing from IDG Ventures and SoftBank China & India Holdings.
India's Kreeda games has received investment cash from IDG Ventures and SoftBank China & India Holdings.
Kreeda is focused on making MMOs and recently launched a portal - the money will help its projects including the upcoming game Dance Mela, a Bollywood rhythm action title.
A report in the India Times points out that the investment is less than $10m.
The investors say the Indian online games market is worth over $5m already, and Kreeda execs and its new VC friends say they hope to echo the growth of the Chinese and Korean markets.
Kreeda's business model advocates a mix of monthly subs, hourly charges and in-game advertising and item sales. Dance Mela will launch with a free to play model.
