Hyderabad, May 30th, 2025: Ignited in 2024, Quake Arena is India’s only multi-sensory immersive nightlife destination. With a massive multilevel layout that can host up to 5,000 people, over 400 state-of-the-art lasers, and a bespoke Martin Audio system, it delivers a world class clubbing experience – right here in India. This cutting-edge nightclub in Hyderabad has been honoured with the #56 spot on DJ Mag’s 20th Annual Top 100 Clubs 2025; becoming the first Indian venue in seven long years to enter the list. In this landmark edition of the poll, DJ Mag drew votes from across the globe, with a total of 226 territories participating in the vote between January and March 2025.
Quake Arena’s entry at #56 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs 2025 is a watershed moment – marking India’s statement re-entry into a list that defines global nightlife, validating our country’s rise as a serious contender in the conversation around performance venues. Founded by Raja Srikar and Kunal Kukreja, with co-founders Rakesh Gupta and Chanakya Reddy, Quake Arena now stands in the same conversation as industry leaders like Ibiza, Las Vegas and Thailand, setting a new benchmark for production in India. Designed by Anirudh Osuri, Director of Design Epicenter, and propelled into the spotlight through Seen Studio’s standout digital strategy, its debut season in 2024 has already made a statement withInternational heavyweights like Ben Bohmer, Afrojack, Dmitri Vegas as well as a Boiler Room takeover coming later in 2025, demonstrating an international pedigree which is only set to grow.
Founder, Raja Srikar weighed in, with immense pride for his creation “Our passion, vision and commitment have led us to the creation of a venue that not only rivals the best around the globe, but pioneers a new era of scale, accessibility and boldness in India. Cutting-edge sound systems envelop every corner, towering laser and light systems create a living canvas on the dance floor and nearly 13,000 sq ft of screens immerse our audience in a truly transformative experience. We are deeply honoured and humbled to be named among DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs. This recognition is a testament to the countless hours and unwavering passion our team has poured into this dream, and it only fuels our determination to keep pushing the boundaries of nightlife in Hyderabad and beyond.”
Founder, Kunal Kukreja also highlighted the need for such a venue in India: “For far too long, Indian audiences have had to look abroad for large-format, truly immersive clubbing experiences. Quake Arena was born out of that gap — a desire to create a space that could rival the world’s most iconic venues while staying deeply rooted in the energy, creativity, and ambition of our local scene. This isn’t just about nightlife; it’s about building a global stage in India for music, culture, and innovation. The response has been overwhelming, and this recognition from DJ Mag is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long and exciting journey for Indian club culture.”
Quake Arena’s breakthrough ranking is just the opening act; this milestone cements Hyderabad as a frontline innovator in global nightlife and propels India onto the world’s stage of club culture. By blending cutting-edge production, daring design, and an unwavering commitment to scale and inclusivity, Quake Arena is rewriting the playbook for what a modern superclub can achieve. This entry signifies a strengthening of South Asia’s presence on the list as well, creating a broader momentum and catalysing party-tourism, similarly as it has for Singapore, Thailand and Bali. As the company charts their course beyond the Top 100, expect ever more ambitious sonic adventures, next-level immersive environments, and a relentless drive to push technology and creativity to their limits—because for Quake Arena, the future of clubbing is already here.
