saathi · noun · companion

A saathi is the person across the board from you.

The best games were never played alone. They were played on a verandah with cousins, with tamarind seeds and cowrie shells, with someone to laugh with when the throw went wrong. That is the feeling we build for. It's why our tagline is simply play together.

Small studio, big table

Saathi Games is bootstrapped and independent: a solo founder in Lucknow working with skilled freelance developers and designers.

The rules we build by

Earning apps have a trust problem. Too many ask you to pay before you earn. We decided early on what we will and will not do, and we put it in writing.

How we make money Rewards terms

Free to play, always

Every game and reward app is free to download and use. No paywalls, no deposits, no pay-to-win.

No gambling, ever

Skill and task-based play only. You never stake, wager or risk your own money on anything we make.

Honest rewards

Advertisers fund the rewards, not you. We explain exactly how we make money and publish real payouts.

Prices up front

Where something does cost money, like SkillSetu's full course access, you see the price before you pay.
