Natural8 is launching a fundraiser to support COVID-19 relief efforts in India. From now until May 29, this Unite to Fight COVID-19 in India campaign will see Natural8 matching every donation dollar for dollar.

India is one of the countries most affected by the ongoing pandemic, and this second most populated country in the world has recorded more than 22 million cases and nearly a quarter of a million COVID-19 deaths. With the current count at roughly 400,000 daily infections, the country is seeing more than 15,000 infections per hour and approximately 2 deaths per minute.

This alarming number is expected to grow with no known end in sight.

All contributions will go to community-run fund CryptoRelief, and go on to provide aid in the form of medicine, oxygen and other essential items crucial in the fight against COVID-19. For full transparency, all donations will also be published on the Natural8 website.

CryptoRelief is a fund consisting of founders and innovators, as well as people who care for the people of India. The community has so far donated close to $1,000,000 with the goal of providing #OxygenForEveryone during the ongoing crisis in India.

Max Level, a leading marketing and PR agency built by gamers, has won the public relations mandate for Riot Games India and South Asia, the global video game developer and publisher behind genre-defining games such as League of Legends, Team Fight Tactics, VALORANT, and more. As part of the partnership, Max Level will lead Riot’s communication strategy in the region, driving awareness and engagement across its expanding player and esports communities.

Max Level will work closely with Riot’s India and South Asia teams to amplify brand campaigns, regional esports initiatives, product updates, and community-first storytelling in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and other South Asian markets. The collaboration aims to build authentic, culturally resonant narratives that reflect Riot’s mission as a player-focused organisation.

The synergy between Riot and Max Level stems from a shared vision to elevate gaming culture across South Asia. With both organizations placing players and community at the heart of their strategy, the partnership is rooted in long-term brand building. Riot brings a legacy of shaping global gaming and esports culture, not just through its games but also through transmedia storytelling, most notably with Arcane: League of Legends, the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series that redefined how games can expand into mainstream entertainment. Max Level, in turn, brings on-ground expertise and cultural fluency in India’s rapidly evolving interactive entertainment space.

The win follows a competitive multi-agency pitch process that saw Max Level selected from among several top PR agencies. The decision was based on Max Level’s deep understanding of the gaming and esports audience, its creative-first approach, and its proven ability to drive conversation and cultural relevance.

Siddharth Nayyar, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Max Level, said, “Winning the PR mandate for Riot Games is a defining moment for us. Riot has not only shaped the modern multiplayer era but also built global communities around player-first values. We’re thrilled to help expand that legacy in India and South Asia, a region that’s growing and evolving at a breakneck pace.”

Max Level’s mandate includes ongoing campaign support for key products and IPs, regional amplification of Riot’s global esports events, as well as strategic counsel on community engagement and creator collaborations. The agency’s track record with brands like NODWIN Gaming, SuperGaming, CyberPowerPC India, KRAFTON, ESL FACEIT Group among others makes it uniquely positioned to drive culturally relevant PR in gaming and esports.

According to the Lumikai State of India Gaming Report 2024, India’s gaming market reached $3.1 billion in FY23, with projections to hit $7.5 billion by FY28, fueled by a base of over 568 million gamers, nearly half of whom are paying users. The report also highlights how India is now the largest consumer of mobile games globally, creating an immense opportunity for publishers like Riot to scale their reach and community.
