The gaming industry in India has been rapidly growing while attracting many youths and career enthusiasts along with it. From being a regular passing time activity known only to a few people to developing a whole new industry of its own, gaming has settled its own place in the midst of people’s minds and hearts. It has developed from being a hobby to something from which people can earn, build a career, and explore the creativity of their minds. The boost that the gaming industry gained during the pandemic whether it’s been through playing Ludo to Among Us to Fortnite is very impressive.

India being only second to China with 420 million casual gamers has been described by KPMG as among the world’s fastest-growing gaming market in June 2021.

A good gaming company needs good PR execution in order to deliver its stories among the people. PR is not only maintaining a company image but also attracting the right audiences in the following sector with its own creativity and ideas.
