The 1992 Gold Flake Indian Masters was an invitational non-ranking snooker tournament held in Delhi, India in August 1992. Four professionals entered the event, Steve Davis, Steve James, Willie Thorne and Peter Ebdon, joining two Indians better known for their prowess at billiards, Geet Sethi and Michael Ferreira, plus two leading lady players, Stacey Hillyard and Karen Corr. The group standings were decided on aggregate frames won rather than matches.{{cite web|url=http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc3.html#IndChal|title=Other Non-Ranking and Invition Events|publisher=Chris Turner's Snooker Archive|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216160441/http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc3.html#IndChal|accessdate=2 November 2020|archive-date=2012-02-16}}
