India has 568 million gamers, the world&#8217;s second largest gaming user base, and the market is targeting USD 8.6 billion by 2027 growing at 25 percent annually. Nazara Technologies Ltd is India&#8217;s only listed gaming company with esports (Nodwin Gaming), real money gaming (WinZO, Sportskeeda) and casual gaming (Kiddopia) businesses. Delta Corp Ltd is India&#8217;s largest listed online gaming and casino operator with real money card games and live casino through Adda52 and Deltatech Gaming. India&#8217;s Supreme Court has upheld skill based gaming as legal while the government&#8217;s online gaming regulation framework (effective April 2023) protects compliant operators from arbitrary bans.<\/p>\n<p>Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, sees Nazara Technologies as India&#8217;s most unique media tech portfolio, operating across esports, children&#8217;s gaming, real money gaming and sports media (Sportskeeda 60 million monthly users) simultaneously, giving it multiple monetisation pathways as India&#8217;s gaming market matures. Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, highlights that India&#8217;s 28 percent GST on online gaming gross gaming revenue, implemented October 2023, has created a structural competitive moat for well capitalised compliant operators like Delta Corp and Nodwin Gaming, as smaller unregulated competitors cannot sustain operations at this tax burden.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
