Ankur Gupta
Founder and CEO, TopSpin Games
Ankur Gupta is the Founder and CEO of TopSpin Games, an Asia-focused iGaming studio on a mission to bring Indian and Asian cultural themes to the global gaming world. With a career rooted in professional graphics systems, broadcast technology, and digital media, Ankur has spent decades at the intersection of technology and creative content before turning his focus to gaming.
He founded TopSpin Games in 2020, conceiving the idea during the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by a clear gap in the market: the absence of authentic Indian and Asian game content for a global audience. Under his leadership, TopSpin has grown into a regulated B2B game studio developing slots, crash games, mines, scratch cards, table games and bingo, all built around rich cultural themes and available in 21 international and regional languages.
TopSpin's games are licensed under Sigma Gaming Limited, a UK Gambling Commission regulated Remote Gambling Software provider (Licence 40865), ensuring the highest standards of fairness and player protection. The studio takes a mobile-first approach, with all games engineered for seamless performance across iOS and Android devices.
Ankur is a regular voice in the iGaming industry, discussing topics such as niche market strategy, culturally tailored content, big data in game development, and the global opportunity for Asian-themed gaming. He has been featured in industry podcasts and panels, and represents TopSpin Games at major iGaming conferences including ICE Barcelona and SBC Summit.
