Empowering Dreams: The Rise of Indian Gaming Talent
The Indian gaming industry is on the cusp of a revolution—a revolution of innovation, creativity, and creation. It is currently projected to reach $8.36 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 15.68%.
This rapid expansion has created a plethora of opportunities for aspiring game developers, designers, and artists. The global gaming market, valued at over $430 billion, is expected to grow further, reaching $640 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 12%.
This is not a fleeting boom focusing just on entertainment, it is a thriving industry that offers promising careers in game development, esports, and beyond. Careers in game development, design, art, and VR/AR development are on the rise, with skills in programming languages like C++, Python, and C# being highly sought after.
