Regulation would drive significant investment in India eSports

Establishing a clear regulatory framework for India's eSports market would likely drive significant investment from venture capital funds, potentially eight to ten times the current levels, according to the All India Gaming Federation (AIGF).

There has been a 20 percent jump in daily active users over the past three years. The number of gamers in March 2020 was 360 million.

"Digital sports need to be recognized and need to have a proper construction of rules and regulations," AIGF CEO Roland Landers wrote in a report. "This won't just assist to scale the game, but help make it a viable career option for individuals."
