Esports are sports competitions that take place through video games that are organised in a multiplayer setting. Because of its promotion and campaign on various online streaming platforms such as YouTube, it has successfully taken over the Indian market. The esports industry is not new, but few people realise it has been around for a decade. It just so happens that it has recently gained popularity in India as more developers and investors show interest in the Indian market. The following are the most popular esports genres in the Indian market today:
MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena)
RTS (Real-Time Strategy)
FPS (First Person Shooter)
Card games
Battle Royale
Fighting
India's Esports scene
According to Forbes, India is the 16th largest economy in the world, with a multibillion-dollar economy. Only 25 game developers existed in India's online gaming sector a decade ago. In the country today, there are over 250 game developers. Some of the industry's biggest names, including Tencent, Nazara, Paytm, and Alibaba, have already made investments in India's gaming sector. Sports revenue was primarily generated by companies such as Oppo and Asus.
India has hosted some of the most important esports tournaments, including the PUBG Mobile Series 2019 and the Electronic Sports League, in which Dota 2 players from all over the world competed.
Counter-Strike – Since its initial release in early 2012, it has grown to become the most popular and widely played esports in the country. India was not an esports hub at the time. Today, India is well-known for its esports, and Counter-Strike has played a significant role in this.
Dota 2 – It was the first esport to dominate the Indian market; it is a multiplayer online battle game played by two teams of five players each.
During pandemic, the esports industry:
One of the reasons India's economy is still thriving despite the global pandemic is online gaming. When comparing data from pre-covid and lockdown, the number of online gamers using their smartphone has increased by 60%. The high youth population, as well as the affordability and accessibility of smartphones, are the primary reasons for India's thriving online gaming sector. It has also paved the way for an Indian-only online casino portal. Another factor that has contributed to the growth of the online gaming market is the widespread availability of high-speed 4G internet.
Stakeholders' role in India's esports growth
E-commerce platforms have played a significant role in the growth of esports in India. They ensure that gamers have access to the necessary hardware and accessories for the game. Asus and Flipkart are two well-known e-commerce companies. Online gamers prefer to use high-performance gaming devices and tools. Companies that manufacture such gaming accessories ensure that demand is met while keeping affordability and accessibility in mind. Companies such as Amazon and Flipkart ensure that gaming products are readily available and reasonably priced.
Connectivity is a major factor in the expansion of the gaming industry. Telecommunications providers have been working around the clock to provide the best data plans while keeping high-speed data access and affordability in mind. Data availability is made possible by Reliance Jo's efforts to establish thousands of mobile towers across the country, ensuring high-speed connectivity.
Esports as a career option
In terms of esports career opportunities in India, professional gamers have few options because the country's ecosystem and infrastructure are not prepared to support such a lifestyle. If you choose to be a professional gamer in India, you can earn a lot of money, but only when the tournament is open. If you approach it as if it were a stable job, you are putting yourself in jeopardy. However, other jobs in the esports industry may become available, such as game commentary, influencer, or coder in the development of artificial intelligence for games.
A career in data handling is also available. You can earn between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 2 lakh per month. Esports is a gender-neutral industry because it does not require physical strength. In fact, a few women have achieved success in esports, including Sasha Hostyn. She won the Intel Extreme Masters 2018 tournament and a total prize money of Rs 34.45 lakh.
The growth in startup investments
Competitive esports gaming is becoming increasingly popular in India and other parts of the world. In this day and age, when the world is in the grip of a pandemic, it is surprising that online gaming is one of the pillars that keeps the economy afloat. Because the pandemic does not appear to be ending anytime soon, more and more investors are putting their money into digital enterprises, resulting in an increase in esports startup investments.
Esports is on repaid increase in Indian market which is a good thing happened during the pandemic as it will the economy to grow as well as provide jobs to people it can used as a vaccine to the employment virus in the country.
