Delhi-based Baazi Game was founded in 2014 by Navkiran Singh with poker as the first game offering. Overtime, the company has launched two more real money games (RGMs)—fantasy sports (BalleBaazi) and rummy (RummyBaazi) in the year 2018 and 2019, respectively, to cater to the rapidly increasing appetite for online gaming.

"Baazi Games have been able to create a loyal user base by providing the most seamless and rewarding experience over the years through online poker and fantasy sports. In order to enhance the experience for our users, we expanded our product line by introducing RummyBaazi.com and through our hard work and constant endeavour we have been successful in making it one of the most rewarding online rummy platforms in the country," said Sumit Warriach, CEO, RummyBaazi.

Commenting on the same, Singh, founder and CEO, Baazi Game said "As the country is continuously increasing their consumption of online gaming, it becomes essential for platforms like RummyBaazi.com to expand their product portfolio to cater to the audience needs."

Baazi Games claims to have served over 50 lakh users so far, with RummyBaazi alone having catered to more than 5 lakh players within a year of its inception.
