Speaking on the occasion, Akshat Rathee, Chief Gaming Officer at NODWIN Gaming, said, “We are very happy and excited to host this championship in Delhi. There are so many tournaments being organized outside India and till now these opportunities were not available to gamers in India. Gaming as a career in India is nascent but building up steam. Internationally, esports is extremely big and it is time that Indians take their rightful place on the global stage.

 

India’s games market enjoyed has never consolidated across the verticals of Hardware, Software, Content, Outsourcing, Development and Animation. Further, ancillary support industries such as broadband were also not considered part of the traditional gaming market. However with the launch of initiatives such as Airtel’s offer with Microsoft Kinect, that is changing extremely quickly. The consolidated gaming market across all verticals is closer to 2.5 Billion USD ( 12,500 Crores) in India, said Rathee.”
