About MPL

**MPL — company profile** Mobile Premier League (MPL) is a Bengaluru, Karnataka-headquartered mobile gaming and esports company founded in September 2018 by Sai Srinivas Kiran G (CEO) and Shubham Malhotra, operating under the legal entity Galactus Funware Technology Private Limited. MPL is a single app hosting a catalogue of games rather than a studio: users compete in free and paid tournaments across 60+ titles spanning fantasy sports, sports games, puzzle, casual and board games, with the platform hosting hundreds of millions of tournaments a month. It historically monetised primarily through entry fees on real-money skill-gaming contests, taking a platform commission. The company has reported over 90 million registered users, with later company material citing more than 120 million registered users across India, the United States and Nigeria. It has held partnerships with major sports properties including the NBA and the Pro Kabaddi League. MPL became India's second gaming unicorn in 2021 when its Series E round valued it at $2.3 billion, backed by Legatum Capital, RTP Global, Go-Ventures, Play Ventures, Base Partners and Founders Circle Capital alongside existing investors; it has raised a total of roughly $365.5 million across five rounds. Its business has since been materially reshaped by Indian regulation of online real-money gaming: as of July 2026 the MPL app's own site states that deposits are no longer available on the MPL app and that no cash games are available on MPL, in compliance with applicable law. This removes the company's original core revenue model in India and is the single most important fact about its current position. **Industry:** Gaming / Mobile Esports **Headquarters:** Bengaluru, Karnataka, India **Official website:** https://www.mpl.live/ **Why work here as a fresher** MPL is the kind of company where early-career talent is given real scope rather than busywork. Interns and freshers are placed on live problems, paired with experienced mentors, and reviewed on the same quality bar as everyone else. That combination — real ownership plus real feedback — is what turns a first role into a genuine career head start. **Culture** Expect a fast-paced, outcome-oriented environment with flat communication, short feedback loops and a strong bias for action. Teams are small enough that your contribution is visible and large enough that you learn from people who have already solved the problem you are facing. Learning, curiosity and honest debate are valued over hierarchy. **Growth & hiring** MPL hires internships across engineering, data, product, design, marketing, finance and operations, and a meaningful share of its early-career hires convert to full-time offers. All openings are published on the company's official careers page, and applications for this role are submitted directly to MPL there — no middlemen, no aggregators.
