With the theme 'Bharat Innovates', the event will showcase India's most innovative startups through sector-specific pavilions, including gaming and exports, led by JetSynthesys. This company has a strong gaming and exports portfolio, featuring popular titles such as Real Cricket, GEPL, and Sachin Saga. Navani emphasised that the exports pavilion will provide a comprehensive view of the entire exports ecosystem, including games, athletes, producers, influencers, and cosplay artists. It will also feature two exports events – 'Real Cricket 24' and 'Sachin Saga' – along with a career masterclass. Real Cricket has garnered over 300 million downloads and 100 million unique users, establishing itself as a leading game in India.

Rohit Potphode, CEO and league commissioner of GEPL, will unveil Season 2 at the pavilion on March 18, alongside JetSynthesys' leadership team.
