Esports on the Fast Track to Olympics: What it Means for India

The world of esports is abuzz with excitement! The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced it will officially propose the creation of the Olympic Esports Games at its upcoming session during the 2024 Paris Olympics. This news is particularly thrilling for Indian esports athletes and enthusiasts.

India’s Rise in the Global Gaming Arena

India’s esports scene is flourishing. With government recognition and support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, esports is now a legitimate and rapidly growing industry. The number of online gamers in India has skyrocketed to a staggering 442 million, surpassing even China! This explosive growth underscores the need for responsible gaming practices and a strong Code of Conduct to ensure the industry’s sustainable development.

The Olympic Esports Games: What to expect?

The IOC’s decision to discuss the creation of the Olympic Esports Games marks a significant step towards esports’ inclusion in the prestigious sporting event. The organization has already established the IOC Esports Commission. Similarly, previously held events like the Olympic Virtual Series and the Olympic Esports Week. While viewership for those events fell short of expectations, the IOC remains committed to esports’ Olympic aspirations.

The inclusion of esports in the Olympics won’t be without its hurdles. The Olympic Games uphold strict values that participating sports must adhere to. This means some popular esports titles featuring violence, like Counter-Strike and League of Legends, might not make the cut for the Olympic Esports Games. Additionally, the IOC plans to establish a separate organizational and financial structure for the Esports Games. Besides, distinct from the traditional Olympic model. The first partners for these games are expected to be international federations. Besides, already involved in creating esports versions of their existing sports.

A Bright Future for Esports

The potential inclusion of esports in the Olympics represents a major validation for the industry. For Indian gamers, this news is a significant motivator, potentially opening doors for them to compete on the world’s biggest sporting stage. According to Akshat Rathee (Co-founder of NODWIN Gaming), this inclusion in the Olympics. Moreover, will potentially allow Esports to be placed on the same mantle as other sports. As the industry continues its meteoric rise, responsible practices and a focus on player safety. However, will be crucial to ensure its long-term success.
