Positive for the next 5-7 years — India's esports industry is growing from ₹1,800 Cr GMV in 2026 toward ₹4,000+ Cr by 2030 (FICCI Frames), driven by mobile-first esports growth, increasing publisher investment from Krafton and Riot, and professionalisation of org structures post-Series A funding. IEF-MYAS recognition, Asian Games medal status, and NODWIN's institutional scale mean esports operations roles are graduating from passion-project positions to genuine professional careers. Title-ban risk and concentration of viable org jobs in Mumbai-NCR-Bengaluru create ongoing career volatility. Most durable career path is built across the org-publisher-event-operator triangle rather than single-org loyalty.
