Here's Everything You Need To Know About India's Gaming Scene That Is Getting Bigger & Bigger

If you told someone that you worked in a gaming company about five years ago, chances are people would snicker at you, or worse, wouldn't know what the hell it is that you do. But now, gaming is one of the highest paying jobs in India and also an incredibly lucrative career option.

Did you know the Indian online gaming industry is all set to add 190 million gamers and become a billion-dollar market by 2021? That is how big this boom is! In fact, gamers are now looking for newer avenues to monetise their skill. One of the most popular games that fit the bill is online rummy, that has garnered a huge fan base over the last 10 years.

So what led to this major boom? While there are multiple explanations, three of the most important factors are an increase in smartphone penetration amongst urban and rural population, availability of affordable, high-speed internet in every corner of the country and impressive investments from big corporate names like Alibaba, PayTM, Tencent Holdings and more.

According to the same KPMG report, the growth of Indian digital gaming industry will be further fueled by the comprehensive rise in digital payment user base which is anticipated at 300 million by 2020, introduction of virtual reality that will be available at less than Rs 500, and gaming content that is developed according to local preferences and languages.

When it comes to the demographics, an average Indian online gamer is a 24-year-old male, who is introduced to online gaming through peer group, prefers puzzles, action, and adventure, and prefers mobile phones over larger screens. An interesting survey by Nielsen on urban online gamers suggests that top reasons for engagement levels in online gaming are a stress relief and social interaction, that stand at 42% and 38% respectively.
