GodLike Esports is covered here as an organization, not as the BGMI lineup. TalkEsport describes it as an Indian esports organisation founded in 2018 by Chetan 'Kronten' Chandgude, based in Mumbai. The BGMI team page carries the rosters and results; this page stays on the parent company: who started it, where it sits, and how many games it fields.
The multi-game footprint is the reason this page exists. TalkEsport's 2026 reporting lists GodLike competing across BGMI, COD Mobile, Free Fire MAX, Pokemon UNITE, EA FC, eFootball and multiple MOBA titles, alongside a creator ecosystem the same report puts at over 150 million monthly views. That is an organization profile, and it is sourced, so it is written here rather than guessed.
Two dated markers anchor the timeline below: the 2018 founding and the 2020 Nova Esports partnership for PUBG Mobile, both printed by name in esports press, plus the 2026 Esports World Cup Club Partner Program selection where GodLike joined S8UL as India's second club. Anything else about the company's internal workings is not on this page, because no allowed source prints it.
GodLike's deepest run at a world championship came in Call of Duty: Mobile. At the CODM World Championship 2023 in Atlanta, the lineup captained by Learn beat the former two-time champions Luminosity in the semi-finals before losing the grand final 2-4 to China's Wolves, taking home $170,000 as runners-up. The same core went back a year later and finished fifth at the 2024 World Championship in Atlanta.
The GodLike Bootcamp is the organization's physical base in Mumbai. Unveiled on 2 July 2022, the 25,000 square foot, five-storey facility was billed as India's largest gaming facility, built to house the playing rosters, content creators and management staff under one roof, with ten streaming rooms, a GodLike Arena and a cafe on site.
GodLike sponsorship is led by OnePlus. OnePlus became the exclusive smartphone partner for the GodLike BGMI team, while TalkEsport also names Hero Xtreme, Red Bull, Google Play and Samsung among the brands behind GodLike campaigns.
