From grassroots campus qualifiers to full production, we run the whole event and the brand story around it.
Our collegiate esports circuit plugs tournaments and casual gaming zones into the biggest fests on campus, from IIT Bombay's Techfest to BITS Pilani's BOSM.

We build esports properties, not just tournaments.
MetaNova Esports is a Mumbai-based company building competitive events, owned esports IP and production capability. We connect campuses, players, brands and communities.
Our story
Vision and mission
Vision
Make India a global hub for esports.
Mission
Build world-class esports events, IP and infrastructure from India.
The audience exists. The stage is still being built.
Collegiate esports is fragmented, large LAN events are rare, and international teams and creators lack big stages in India. We are building that stage.
What makes us different
The MetaNova ecosystem
One company, four properties that feed each other.
Our campus network
Colleges and universities MetaNova has worked with or is building with.
Our flagship IP
National College Arena
A MetaNova-owned, multi-title collegiate esports circuit that connects college festivals through structured competition.
How an NCA edition works
Inside the fest
Each edition runs under the college's flagship festival, so footfall and promotion come from the host.
PC, mobile and console
Brackets and open casual zones, so every student has something to play or watch.
Partner-first
Brands feature on the ground, on the fest's pages and on ours, with a delivery report at the end.
Where NCA is heading
From single campus events to one national property.
Season 1
Eight campuses, one season.
November 2025 to September 2026, most recent first. Pick a campus.
