I recently stumbled on an interesting article while looking into how gaming is growing in different countries. It’s this one: https://nenow.in/article/indias-gaming-economy.html. The piece explains how India has quietly become one of the biggest mobile gaming markets in the world, mostly because smartphones and cheap internet made gaming accessible to hundreds of millions of people. For many players there, gaming doesn’t start with a console or gaming PC — it starts with a basic Android phone and a small monthly data plan.

What I find fascinating is how this completely changes the traditional idea of gaming. Instead of $70 console games, many players spend small amounts — sometimes just a few rupees — on things like skins, battle passes, or small upgrades. When millions of people do that, it creates a massive industry. Some reports even suggest India’s gaming market could grow dramatically in the next decade as more people come online and start playing.
