HalaPlay

HalaPlay was an Indian Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) platform founded in 2016 and publicly launched in January 2017.

It allowed users to create virtual teams for cricket, football, and kabaddi, enabling them to win real money through cash-based contests. The company, officially known as Halaplay Technologies Private Limited, was based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and was co-founded by Swapnil Saurav, Prateek Anand, Ananya Singhal, and Aman Kesari. HalaPlay offered a variety of strategy-based online sports games, including fantasy cricket, football, and kabaddi contests, as well as a card game called HalaPlay Rummy. Users could participate in both free and paid games, with cash prizes advertised up to 2 Crore daily. The platform targeted serious and casual sports enthusiasts in India, aiming to engage over one crore active players. In June 2020, HalaPlay was acquired by Nazara Technologies and is no longer operating independently, with its domain now redirecting to Dream11.
