A national esports summit was recently held in India by the FEAI (Federation of Esports Association of India). At this conference, speakers suggested that India develop a policy framework for data protection and security for esports so that the country can become a global gaming hub.
During the event, Vaibhav Dange, who is the Founding Director of FEAI, said the organization is working with stakeholders to draft a policy highlighting the correct definition of esports. Additionally, these individuals aim to develop regulatory policies that give esports athletes long-term protections.
“As the immediate three-point agenda, we must firstly work towards maintaining the centrality of players and consolidating a talent pool in the country under a professional structure,” said Rajani Navani, Founder, JetSynthesys. “Secondly, we must face the challenges of data sovereignty and implement a policy framework around data protection and data sovereignty; and thirdly, we must work towards making Indian esports and indigenous titles truly global. We must endeavor to create a sustainable economy around esports that aids job production and enables revenue generation.”
India continues to be one of the world’s biggest gaming markets. To date, there are over 150,000 esports athletes in the country. This number is expected to hit 1.5 million people by the 2025 fiscal year.
