Improved broadband, increasing number of smartphones users, higher disposable incomes and the introduction of new gaming genres and competitions are the key factors driving the growth of the industry. With 4G services at affordable cost, the online gamer base in the country is expected to grow further. Though mobile Gaming is a primary driver of this growth, the PC and Console Gaming business is also growing at a consistent pace.

“It is our aspiration to make all the gaming requirements easily available at consumer doorstep. This online configurator will give customers the freedom to select their own configurations fitted in their budget and build DIY Gaming PCs and Consoles”, Mr. Goenka added.

Though the Gaming hardware business is growing consistently, the cost factor and availability still makes it a ‘class category’ with major demand driven by professional Gamers. However, Mr. Goenka believes that as the industry progresses and disposable income of end-users rises, demand will grow multifold in the next 3-5 years.

“In my opinion, the rise in awareness and disposable income of end users, the price factor will no longer remain an obstacle in the growth of this industry. Gaming hardware is designed with high-end configurations to give seamless Gaming experience, which is not possible with regular PC hardware. Passionate Gamers understand this difference and hence invest in high-end Gaming devices”, Mr. Goenka concluded.
