India must implement a policy framework around data protection for esports: FEAI

India must implement a policy framework around data protection and data sovereignty when it comes to esports to ensure a sustained growth for the sector and for India to become a global e-gaming hub, said speakers at the national summit organized by the Federation of Esports Association of India (FEAI).

Speaking at the inaugural function, Vaibhav Dange, Founding Director, FEAI & President, Maratha Esports Association said that the association is involved with all stakeholders to put together a draft policy which highlights the right definition of esports, how it is differentiated from online gaming, what is the regulatory framework that is needed and how athletes need to be ranked and protected in the long term.
