Mirza Mohammed Ali Khan The online mobile gaming segment in India has a lot of potential and must be tapped, said Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog.

“The gaming industry has got massive potential. I think the experience with chess, cricket… all these games demonstrate that this is an area that India must tap,” Kant told BusinessLine.

He also met a delegation from online gaming app Mobile Premier League (MPL) and the winners of an online speed chess tournament organised by the app earlier this month.

“They (online games) should be synchronised with real matches that go on. And if the real world and the gaming world is synchronised together, you will see a huge boom,” said Kant.
