This move emphasises Disney's stance on the social gaming market, having previously announced its intention to pull back from consoles in order to focus on mobile.
Indiagames most recently released Denki's Quarrel to high acclaim.
Earlier in 2011 Disney also acquired HTML5 game specialist Rocketpack, famous for its Rocket Engine tool, designed to allow plugin-free browser-based game development.
A profile of Indiagames in the Business Standard highlighted a profit of $400,000 on revenues of $11 million for its last fiscal year.
