Indian gaming companies are increasingly gaining momentum in the country while presenting a whole new career in esports. According to a recent KPMG report, India has the second-largest base of online gamers in the world after China. Gaming companies in India are investing heavily in different activities to engage with the community using various platforms to spread awareness and build engagement for mobile gaming and esports in India. Some of the initiatives that are building engagement for the gaming community are as follows: Introducing new content formats Gaming companies are exploring new forms of content to reach the audience and encourage them to take up an interest in online gaming and esports. For example, Loco, a live game streaming platform has partnered with Dice Media for India’s first esports web series “Clutch”. The entire series focuses on a powerful squad tackling hardships to win a tough Battleground tournament. Similarly, other companies too are investing in steam-in ads, partnering with influencers to create exclusive campaigns, and exploring new-age properties with the presence of a young audience. Global Associations Gaming companies have now started to partner with large-scale global events like Decathlons and Olympics which help them increase visibility among the sports and esports community in India. These events highlight the potential of esports and skilled gaming and motivate the young gamers to follow their passion and get the right training to reach those heights of professional gaming.
