Bengaluru-based gaming startup Exiles Interactives has raised $355,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by Chimera VC, with participation from Warmup Ventures, IndigoEdge, angel investor Dhruv Vohra, and existing shareholder Sourav Gupta.
The fresh capital will be used to develop and expand Centarius, the company’s flagship browser-based social gaming platform, and to strengthen marketing initiatives.
Centarius allows users to play mid-core social games directly on browsers without downloads or app store restrictions. It features community-driven, competitive gameplay and reward-based engagement, aiming to keep users entertained and connected. Unlike open aggregation models, Centarius focuses on curated gaming experiences and aims to provide indie developers with easier reach across browser, mobile, and console platforms.
To boost adoption, Exiles Interactives plans to partner with gaming creators on platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube. The company also intends to expand marketing through community events and industry participation after launch.
