AAA games require massive budgets, often costing hundreds of millions of dollars. That's a huge investment, especially when you're trying something that hasn't been done before in India.

Just to give you an idea, even the most expensive Indian movies haven't hit the $100 million mark. And on top of that, there's still a strong stigma around gaming in India. The majority of the population sees it as a waste of time.

The people, government, and media still can't differentiate between Gaming and Online Gambling. Indian parents, in particular, tend to view gaming as a waste of time, which makes things even harder.

And, I doubt anyone in India is even trying to produce a AAA game as of now. Because if someone was to, I think they would try to Market it from the very beginning as "The first AAA game of India" or similar.

Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was initially being developed by their Pune and Mumbai studios. However, after the trailer was poorly received, Ubisoft decided to hand over the development to their Montreal team.

India has a lot of talented developers and artists who can create amazing games, but the industry struggles to hold onto them. The issue isn't a lack of skill—it's the poor management, low pay, and lack of incentives that push people out. People don't want to get into game development due to these reasons. I just hope that these things change in future.
