Skillz Opens Bengaluru Office as Second Global Headquarters

Skillz Inc. the pioneer in mobile skill-based gaming and a major U.S.-based gaming platform, has officially opened its new Bengaluru office, its second corporate headquarters. This strategic expansion marks a significant growth phase, positioning Skillz to attract top talent and strengthen its global operations.

The Bengaluru innovation hub will lead new product development, cutting-edge  engineering, and advanced data analysis. This move underscores Skillz's strong belief in India's growing gaming ecosystem, strategically positioning Bengaluru, its second headquarters as a critical hub to attract unparalleled talent in product innovation, engineering execution, and analytic excellence.

A cornerstone of the company's strategy is the Skillz Developer Accelerator, a $75 million initiative launched to support emerging mobile game developers and studios building innovative, skill-based titles. India is a key target market for this program due to its vibrant and creative developer ecosystem.

“Bengaluru is more than just our second headquarters — it’s the heartbeat of Skillz’s next chapter,” said Gaurav Verma, Global General Manager, Skillz Platform. “India is where the next generation of gaming innovation will be imagined, engineered, and scaled. With its unmatched creative and technical talent, we see Bengaluru as the launchpad for Skillz’s most ambitious ideas—from pioneering game formats to powering real-time, high-stakes competition at global scale. For anyone who dreams of shaping the future of competitive gaming, this is your moment to join an iconic platform from India and build for the world.”

With this expansion, Skillz aims not only to grow its global capabilities but also to foster a culture of innovation, experimentation, and excellence. By next year, approximately 50% of Skillz’s product, engineering, and analytics teams will be based in Bengaluru.

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Skillz announced its Q2 2025 financial results on August 7, reporting an 8% year-over-year revenue increase, alongside Paying Monthly Active User growth of 18% quarter-over-quarter and 20% year-over-year.
