Mukesh Ambani: Game On! This could be Mukesh Ambani’s next big bet

Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani might have hinted at his next big bet. While talking to Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Ambani said that gaming could be the next big industry in India.

“Gaming is really doesn’t exist in India… With cloud and broadband connectivity, there is huge potential,” he said.

“For many of us who don’t know what gaming is, it is very hard to imagine but gaming will be bigger than music, movies and tv shows put together,” Mukesh Ambani further added.

India is among the largest markets for game downloads among emerging economies and is set to grow the game development market sharply. Most smartphone users spend an average of one hour on gaming content, according to industry data. This, in turn, has led to the creation of a large gaming ecosystem with global gaming products now being made in India.

Last year, Reliance Jio launched a gaming console like gadget as Jio set-top box.
