India's gaming industry is valued at 930 million dollars with an estimated number of gamers to touch 628 million by this year itself. Majority would be recreational gamers. There are many youngsters who are living from gaming. They either get into eSports, which involves competing, or gaming for audiences on streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch. Both avenues appear lucrative. According to a recent report by Maple Capital Advisors, many industry players are now looking to enter India and invest in the country’s gaming market. While the digital gaming industry is soaring high, the virtual reality entertainment zones are also picking up pace. Gamers today are making a career out of streaming, and competing in eSports.



There are over 400 gaming companies here and India is also one of the top five mobile gaming markets in the world, with a 13% share of global game sessions, according to a report by Deloitte India. Competitive eSporting is divided into four main genres, that are fighting games (like Mortal Kombat), first-person shooters (Counter Strike and Battlefield), real-time strategy (Hearthstone) and multiplayer online battle (Battle Arena). However, each game has a set of rules laid down either by the International Esports Federation or Asian Electronic Sports Federation, based on which tournaments — both national and international — are organised. India has the potential to become the AR / VR and casual gaming development factory of the world if talent is nurtured and infrastructure is built.
