Fantasy gaming company Dream Sports venture capital arm Dream Capital on Wednesday announced plans to infuse a corpus of USD 250 million (about Rs 1,856 crore), in Indian start-ups in the field of sports, gaming, and fitness-tech industries. Over the past year, DreamCap has already invested in eight start-ups in India, such as SoStronk, DreamGameStudios, Elevar, FanCode, and DreamSetGo.
