Speakers Have Their Say on Day Two

Another extraordinary seminar, and a very successful event where I have made several valuable contacts. It was an opportunity to chat with interesting people and make new friends.

Kuntal Sampat, COO, LootMogul
It was a great honour to speak among the industry leaders and veterans. This event is full of fresh energy and expertise on all things iGaming.

Ashish Rana, Marketing Technology & Automation Consultant

Thoroughly enjoyed SPiCE India 2023, for me, it has really offered access to new markets and people that I wouldn't necessarily meet at European conferences. The venue, the weather, the people, everything has been sensational.

Alex Jones, SPiCE India 2023 delegate, EveryMatrix

I would say this has been the best SPiCE yet and that is probably because the industry has evolved and matured and as a result of the announcement from the Ministry of Technology its reinvigorated the conversation. We have had some incredibly in-depth conversations about regulation. What has been really interesting is that what has started off looking like it's just a normal event, has evolved into something that is much more complicated and sophisticated and interesting.
