IT Secretary clears air on gaming ban, shines light on what lies ahead

The Indian gaming industry is at a crossroads, following the recent legislation that has banned online money gaming. IT Secretary S Krishnan has, however, suggested that the outlook for the sector may not be as bleak as some industry players have claimed.

In an interview to The Times of India’s Pankaj Doval, Krishnan argued that significant growth opportunities exist in social gaming and e-sports, which are ripe for development.
