“Cheap data and inexpensive phones brewed a perfect situation in India, creating a completely new category of entertainment,” co-founder Anirudh Pandita said in an interview. “Over 100 million monthly active users in India engage with these games, imagine a 100 million people playing a sport that no one’s watching — that’s what Loco set out to solve for.”

Gaming and game streaming in the world have grown over the past couple of years. There was a notable increase in live streaming of games on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook since COVID-19’s impact. According to Bloomberg, “Loco has expanded rapidly in the past year, with monthly active users growing six times and monthly active streamers increasing 10 times.”

In March, Nodwin Gaming raised Rs.164 cr from Krafton Inc. to improve infrastructure and organize multitudes of tournaments nationally and internationally.
