Nazara Technologies Partners with Telangana Government to Launch AI Center of Excellence for Gaming

Nazara Technologies, a leading Indian gaming and esports company, announced two key initiatives today. First, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Telangana to establish an AI Center of Excellence (CoE) focused on gaming and digital entertainment. This partnership aims to make Telangana a global hub for AI innovation, with Nazara taking the lead in AI-driven gaming advancements.
Nazara also unveiled the gameplay trailer for its upcoming mobile shooter game, FAU-G: Domination, developed by Mumbai-based Dot9 Games. The game, published by Nazara Publishing, is now available for pre-registration on Android. As part of this launch, Nazara will donate ₹25 lakh to the Bharat Ke Veer Trust, which supports families of India’s Armed Forces Martyrs.
The AI Center of Excellence will focus on research and development in gaming, interactive media, and gamified learning, using cutting-edge technologies like AI, VR/AR, blockchain, and Web 3.0. FAU-G: Domination is positioned as a response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for world-class games from India, with NIBE Limited, a prominent Indian defence manufacturer, serving as the Defence Subject Matter Expert for the game.
These initiatives highlight Nazara’s commitment to strengthening its footprint in the Indian gaming industry, advancing technology, and supporting social causes.
