Why India Is Poised For A Gaming Boom

Roby John is the CoFounder and CEO of SuperGaming. In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we interview the founder of the "Epic Games of India," SuperGaming. Roby explains how India's population of 1.4 billion with 450 million gamers playing battle royale games, and the most accessible cheap internet in the world has delivered the perfect storm for India to be the epicenter of the next gaming boom! When you talk with Roby, it feels like his career has been building towards this moment. Once a founder of an educational software startup, and now a repeat builder of the most downloaded games in India, their upcoming Indo-futuristic game called Indus is poised to deliver a gaming franchise that celebrates Indian culture by "building the Wakanda of India." Having recently met with Apple's Tim Cook during his widely publicized visit to India, Roby is the perfect guide to help us understand why India could become the center of the gaming universe and how SuperGaming, with 200 million users across its games, is implementing Web3 into games like Tower Conquest: Metaverse Edition. ------ 📺 If you prefer video, watch episodes of The Edge Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNzMl-Xdbc4YfQcYdy96wgTAWoMr-3b-j THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT TO BUY ANY TOKEN OR NFT RELATED TO ANY PLATFORMS DISCUSSED. ------ 🌲 LINKTREE FOR THE EDGE PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod 🔎 DISCOVER DEFI & WEB3 BLOG POSTS, PODCASTS, TUTORIALS: http://defidad.com/ ✅ FOLLOW DEFI DAD ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ✅ FOLLOW NOMATIC ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources 🏗️ MANTLE | HIGH-PERFORMANCE ETHEREUM L2 WITH MODULAR DESIGN, LOW FEES, AND HIGH SECURITY https://linktr.ee/mantle.xyz ⚖️ KYBERSWAP | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR AND AMM https://kyberswap.com/ 📈 GTRADE | DECENTRALIZED LEVERAGE TRADING https://gains.trade/ 🥑 INSTADAPP | CHECK OUT THE NEW AVOCADO SMART CONTRACT WALLET https://avocado.instadapp.io/ ⛩️ UTOPIA | PAYROLL AND EXPENSE MANAGEMENT FOR DAOS https://www.utopialabs.com/ 🌊 STADER | MULTICHAIN LIQUID STAKING https://staderlabs.com/ 🚀 LIQUITY | UNSTOPPABLE ETH-BACKED STABLECOINS AND LEVERAGE https://www.liquity.org/ 🙋‍♀️ Interested to sponsor The Edge Podcast?
