The company reports 5 million users, up 60% from November 2020, with 45% of users outside India across Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, the US, and Europe. Turnip plans to use the fresh funds to scale its presence across Southeast Asia and Latin America by the end of 2022, and to invest in hiring and product development. The founders say their goal is to build from India for the global gaming audience and to become a default home for mobile gaming communities.
