Data suggest that young folks under the age of 30 are spending a lot more time on social media and gaming and less time on TV and physical sports. In this episode, we have the CEO of Nazara Technologies,Krafton India and Lila Games, leaders in the Indian gaming space. We also have Animesh Agarwal (8bit Thug), a protagonist of the Indian gaming Industry,turning gaming into a full time career in india
Given that gaming for young kids today is what cricket was for Indians back in the day, we explore how one can prepare to become a part of the gaming industry: By either becoming a gamer, understanding specific skills needed and channels of monetisation or by developing and publishing games, knowing how hiring in the gaming industry works and so on.In both of these cases, what remains common is specific skills and knowledge
Given that the industry is still in its nascent stages in India, we compare and contrast the climate of the gaming industry across geographies, break down what physiological aspects and latent human desires which makes certain games tick. It could be chasing emotions, status or making progress along with the opportunities that we are primed to capitalise based on the current landscape of the gaming industry.
