According to Sensor Tower, a mobile app market intelligence firm, India notched up 7.3 billion downloads of gaming apps off the internet from January to September, accounting for 17% of all such digital installations globally. Analysts who have crunched the numbers and studied trends expect India’s online gaming industry to swell to $1 billion next year on a base of about 310 million users. That online gaming is a business which must be allowed to flourish as freely as possible is not in doubt. Like other online ventures, many apps are on an ascent powered by innovative ideas that deserve their market rewards. What gaming apps need is regulation.
