India is a game changer – Here’s why

India is soaring when it comes to gaming, with the market being expected to pass the $1 billion mark in 2021.

The significant number of Indians playing games has a direct effect on the demand for developers, designers, investors, and other professions, helping the market grow.

There are seven primary reasons why India is the ‘next big thing’ in gaming:

1. India, a country of youngsters – Over 75% of the population is under 45, which means that there’s a high level of tech-savvy people, eager to play games, both on mobile and computer.
2. Mobile gaming is on the rise – Yes, people still play on computers, especially for e-sport games. But, mobile devices are gaining a much broader audience thanks to technological advancements making it possible to play popular massive online games from the phone.
3. Increase in internet users – The number of Indians using the internet today is close to 600 million, which comes to show the potential of introducing online games to that number of people.
4. Tailor-made content for Indian users – The times of Indians having to adjust to western games is gone. Today, players can enjoy real money games such as Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and Rummy online.
5. eSports is on the rise – Over 250 million gamers participate in some form of e-sports annually. Classic e-sports such as CS:GO, DOTA 2, as well as fantasy sports, especially that of cricket, is on the rise.
6. Higher focus on IT – India is becoming a global center for technology and online services, which sees the number of IT companies grow in the country.
7. Evolution of digital payment methods – Google Pay and Paytm are quickly becoming recognized payment methods for both online and offline purchases.
