WinZO is entering the US market while pivoting to short-form video via ZO TV, after India’s 2025 Online Gaming Bill impacted real money gaming. Cofounders Saumya Singh Rathore and Paavan Nanda plan to leverage WinZO’s distribution model in the US, the world’s largest gaming market. With 250M+ users and $110M funding from investors like Kalaari Capital, the company aims to tap the $12B microdrama market projected by 2030.
