At a time when the Indian gaming industry is at the helm of a revolution, such efforts will help leverage new-age tech and resources for more interactive experiences, and a better developer’s infrastructure. Both companies highlighted the significance of concerted action, and believe this is just the beginning of a long-term collaboration focused on innovation, access, and building for India’s next billion gamers.
Fueling this vision is a rapidly evolving digital infrastructure and emergence of India as the second-largest mobile gaming market. By hitting the $3.8 Bn mark in FY24, India’s gaming market has developed into a massive ecosystem of close to 600 million gamers (Leveling up: State of India Interactive).
With enablers such as seamless internet access, smart-phone penetration and greater catalysts of support within the public, investor, policy, and academia sphere, the share of gamers has increased manifold across diverse segments, with 66% gamers from non-metro cities and 44% female gamers (Leveling up: State of India Interactive).
