Dream11 shifts to Worli as RMG operations shut, triggering price cuts

Dream11’s mother or father firm, Dream Sports, is making ready a significant organisational reset following the affect of the Progressive Online Gaming Act (PROGA), 2025, which has compelled India’s largest fantasy sports activities operator to wind down its real-money gaming operations.

Harsh Jain, Co-founder and CEO of Dream Sports, mirrored on the corporate’s 17-year journey, recalling how Dream11 started in 2008 as a modest startup launched by two 22-year-olds from a small workplace in Lower Parel, Mumbai. Jain described the years since as “a wild ride,” marked by exceptional progress, powerful challenges and moments that examined the corporate’s resilience. “Through it all, one thing stayed constant: our passion to build something that helps make every sports match more exciting,” he stated.

With PROGA 2025 reshaping India’s on-line gaming framework, Dream11 has initiated the shutdown of its real-money gaming vertical — a transfer that considerably alters its core enterprise mannequin and triggers a broader shift towards price optimisation, consolidation and long-term sustainability. The firm took the choice even earlier than the legislation has come into impact.

As a part of this transformation, Dream Sports will relocate its headquarters in January 2026, shifting out of Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and returning to Worli — the neighbourhood the place the corporate first started. The new workplace, known as the “Dream Sports Stadium,” will carry all group manufacturers beneath one roof, together with Dream11, FanCode, DreamSetGo, DreamCricket, Dream Money, Dream Play, Dream Sports AI, The Dream Foundation and a number of other upcoming ventures.

Jain framed the relocation as each symbolic and strategic. He stated the shift is “a return to our roots — a reminder to stay lean, frugal, hungry, and laser-focused on building the next big thing from India for the world.”

The consolidation is predicted to streamline collaboration, velocity up decision-making and improve operational effectivity as Dream Sports reshapes itself in a post-RMG regulatory atmosphere. The firm now goals to strengthen non-real-money choices, increase its sports activities tech ecosystem, and develop global-ready digital merchandise because it enters its subsequent chapter.
