Gaming is huge in India where youth culture embraces the use of technology for entertainment. The gaming industry has become an integral part of life in India and provides employment for thousands of people.
According to Statista, the market value of the gaming industry in India was approximately 62 billion Indian rupees in 2019. It’s expected to rise to around 250 billion rupees by 2024. Live streaming is playing a major role in this growth as it allows enthusiasts to get the first-hand experience of the very best gameplay.
The Value Of Live Streaming Gameplay
The biggest value of live streaming is that it allows the viewer to experience the excitement of a game or sport first hand from wherever they are in the world.
For instance, cricket fans can watch the stars of the IPL in action in real-time, without ever having to attend a match if they use live streaming channels like HotStar. Live streaming can also allow players to get an example of the environment inside a casino card room without actually entering a land-based casino.
In the case of gaming, live streaming gives casual enthusiasts the opportunity to watch the experts play live, and learn from them. The ability to live stream has also turned these expert players into online influencers who make large amounts of money from their gaming activity.

Kronten is one of the most popular gamers in the country and, like Dynamo, he has his own clan, GoldL Clan. This is one of the most popular gaming clans in India.
