Born Out of Passion

In 2021, two college friends — Karan Verma and Deepak Iyer — were tired of gaming on laggy computers at mediocre cafes. They had a simple dream: build a place that was worthy of the Indian gaming community. A place with real hardware, real speed, and real atmosphere.

Starting with just 12 stations in a 400 sq ft room in Koramangala, they reinvested every rupee back into the club. Today, Nexus spans 6,000 sq ft in HSR Layout, hosts over 12,000 registered members, and is recognized as one of South Asia's top gaming establishments.
