SERB Secretary Sandeep Verma said on Twitter that the R&D initiative will connect academia, start-ups and industry to rapidly evolve high-end R&D concepts for development of Indian game engines, procedural content generators, design patents/copyrights on player and community centric games.

Digital games and simulations present exciting S&T problems for research and translation, leading to significant commercial potential on global scale, Verma said.

Innovation will include cross-cutting research in engineering, computer science, visual graphics, fine arts, and social sciences, he said.
