‘India favourably positioned for mobile gaming’: Qualcomm exec on company’s first e-sports tournament

“India is favourably positioned for mobile gaming as a sport, as India is a mobile first country,” Rajen Vagadia, President, Qualcomm India & SAARC tells indianexpress.com over a call as Qualcomm gets ready to host its first e-sports event in the country. The first season of Snapdragon Conquest is focused on Garena Free Fire as it is one of the most popular mobile games in the country right now.

“The smartphone market is growing pretty fast, and it’s continuing to be one of the very few markets that will keep growing. Moreover, the Indian gaming community is the third largest globally, with around 365 million players and expected to grow to over half a billion in the next two to three years,” he pointed out.
