Krafton India is set to launch new games for the Indian gaming community
Krafton India, the Indian division of the renowned Korean gaming company behind popular games like Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) and Road to Valor, recently hosted an international esports event in India. The company organized an e-sports tournament in Delhi featuring Indian teams competing against South Korean teams. The event took place at Bharat Mandapam and had a large audience in attendance.
During an interview, Krafton India CEO Sean Sohn provided more information about the game publisher's plans for India. Sohn began by discussing the driving force behind the event, stating, "We want to showcase how our games can be fun and exciting for people in Delhi and also like stakeholders, government regulators, and so on. So, I think that is the main motivation".
One of the most significant impacts of the event was on government officials and senior bureaucrats. As Sohn noted, "There are a good number of people from governments who are just seeing this and find that esports can be a mainstream thing in the very near future".
When discussing the state of gaming in India, Sohn stated, "I think in general, people like gaming. And they also want e-sports content, like competition, winning, and starting from the grassroots and becoming a top player or hero. I think people are very enthusiastic about that kind of story. Maybe it's easier to become a top player in virtual football or a game like 'Region' because it doesn't cost much money or infrastructure to train".
