We’re here to make meaningful, unforgettable games. And have a blast doing it.
We’re Ayelet Studio—a scrappy indie crew from Chennai hell-bent on building world-class games with bold gameplay, immersive stories, and a hearty dose of cultural pride.

Founded in 2022, we've been on a mission to bringing regional stories to a wider audience. No generic tropes. No surface-level storytelling. Just rich, rooted experiences built for a global stage.

Our upcoming title Son of Thanjai blends stealth, spectacle, and surul vaal-swinging combat and is coming to PC, XBox, and PS5 in 2026.

Craft Over Clout.

We believe the best games aren’t just played—they’re felt.

At Ayelet, we chase emotions, not algorithms. We craft moments that linger, worlds that matter, and stories that punch through the noise.

We draw from our roots–not as a limitation, but as our greatest asset. South Indian history, language, aesthetics, and rhythm breathe through everything we make. But we’re not here to make museum pieces. We’re here to redefine what local means.

How We Work

🤝

Collaborate as One

We work toward a shared mission. At Ayelet, there are no "your problems," only ours. We operate as one team, deeply aligned on why the company exists, and we back each other at every stage.

💡

Innovation, Everywhere

Good ideas can come from anywhere. We encourage new thinking across games, player experience, processes, and culture. More importantly, we act on it. We test, experiment, and iterate until ideas turn into real outcomes.

🚀

Founder's Mindset

We act like owners. Everyone takes full responsibility for their work, avoids shortcuts, and treats the company as their own. When things get tough, we step up, stay positive, and do what it takes to move forward.

Move Fast

Speed matters. We work with a strong bias toward action and execution. Not everything is urgent, but we bring momentum even to small tasks. Progress compounds when teams move with intent.

📈

Continuous Improvement

Excellence is built daily. We listen closely to feedback from our team and our players, and we act on it. We learn fast, adapt quickly, and keep raising the quality of everything we ship.

🎯

Raise the Bar

Good is not enough. We hold ourselves and each other to high standards and expect real performance. When everyone brings their best, we build better, move faster, and grow stronger together.
