Ep# 17 | WTF is Gaming in India? | Career, Investment, Entrepreneurship

[@Kullthegreat]

Joseph Kim is on different level in terms of market understanding and how effortlessly he is translating that info into simple words. Wow what a legend. Major missed info from him on this pod is what kind of games work in India.

[@user-bi6cg6jv3g]

I am pretty sure Joseph felt like it was not worth joining this discussion panel. Even when Nassir (Nasdaily) was a part of this podcast, one could easily observe the level of in depth knowledge, intellect and excellence in communication he had over other content creators. Same with other international individuals ( Including NRIs working in US ). And I think the flaw lies in our culture and education system, and I don't know how that's going to change, but if any core nationlist sees this, it is an initiative worth taking.

[@GameMakersDev]

I gotta say Nikhil is an amazing person. Wonderful, humble, generous, and super charismatic. I (Joseph Kim- writing from my Gamedev YT channel) was and am super humbled to have been invited to such a great show. Just skimming through some of the comments here, I can see Nikhil has a really supportive community, and OMG Thug must be doing something really right to have such a huge and committed audience. Anyway, for some of you who wrote nice things about me... thank you guys. I'm used to doing super niche content for tiny audiences so it's cool to see so many people interested in gaming/gamedev content here.

[@rachanamuralinarayanan7391]

I love how Nikhil's trying to demystify game design down to its essence, not only with engines, platforms, and scripting languages, but also with the larger storyboard, streaming economics and actually generate something that an aspiring enthusiast can take away.

[@shyamkumarsasi3577]

The podcast appeared to be heavily focused on mobile gaming, neglecting the broader gaming landscape in India. While mobile gaming may have a larger audience, it should not be the sole focus here when discussing the gaming industry in the country. Some people including me or I should say those with extensive gaming experience, may have anticipated a more comprehensive exploration of the true essence of gaming, which was lacking in the podcast. And I respectfully disagree with your point here ,Nikhil, did not even delve into the perspectives and experiences of dedicated gamers or the deeper significance of gaming. However, it is worth noting that the guest speakers, especially Kim, provided valuable insights into the Indian gaming community that even Indian gaming community may not have been aware of. Their knowledge and intellect deserves nothing but admiration and respect.

[@backbackup1873]

I invested in Nazara technologies in October 23 listening the news that Nikhil has invested in it. It has fell big 28% until now. So, just for the comment reader’s here please don’t invest blindly without doing any research of your own, like the mistake i made here.

[@yomamasohot6411]

You've certainly made a mistake that a rookie makes. But it is stupid to blame Nikhil over it because the guy didn't fake. He is still invested in it. He has a strategy and you don't. That is the problem.

[@backbackup1873]

@@yomamasohot6411 I’m not blaming anyone, just wanted to mention it so that no one else makes this mistake too.

With no disrespect , the depth at which Joseph speaks, showcases the difference in intellect. Every hindsight he provides, is backed with accurate data and a strong explanation. If India could produce such intellects, be it any industry, we would be prospering at a rapid growth. Foundation plays a key role in developing a long term vision.

[@mehul3855]

Animesh has a very myopic view, unsurprising considering his forte. But the others should have talked more about AA/AAA titles, Indies and the big forces in the game industry.EA and Ubisoft have had studios in India for longer than most of the panelists.

[@GanggsterR]

this podcast is for India only

[@yomamasohot6411]

If you are a real gamer(not mobile) then I feel like we are born in the wrong country. Mobile gaming has picked up in India because we are poor and cannot afford to pay for a PC/console or games. F2p android games are played by the youth who don't earn or earn little money. And if you are smart enough, you will realize because the income inequality is increasing, those poor people will never do well enough to ever transition into fully paid PC/ console gamers. India seems forever be doomed to be a f2p mobile gaming nation with poor RPU.

[@Aryan.x.Marathe]

Joseph Kim made a perceptive observation; it's true that India is struggling to produce skilled talent and is plagued by mediocrity. I've noticed that many of my friends chase after substantial salaries rather than pursuing their passion for their craft, which is quite disheartening.

[@yomamasohot6411]

Can relate to Mr Nitish. My niece (11 yrs old) and nephew ( 6 yrs) are so into Minecraft and Technogamerz. Also they like to watch their favourite streamers playing games. I think this is a substantial shift into the likes of today's younger generation compared to us millennials or even gen z.

[@mehulagrawal3217]

Hi Nikhil and WTF team, I know its difficult but can you try to do a podcast with all brokerage firms? (Groww, Zerodha, 5Paisa, Angel one, Upstox)

[@gurubaxaniuday4884]

I think if he does a podcast with them they can't come to the podcast because nikhil always gives warning to investors that you should spend all your money into trading and all he guides investors a lot but on the other hand companies like upstox, groww, angel one are only doing business that's why I think that's why they don't come to podcast

[@Riu879]

Half way through the podcast and I can see Joseph is awesome ,he understands gaming very good and always having different perspective ,I like the way of thinking that there is opportunity of making games in India ,everybody is running behind becoming a professional gamer or streamer but there is also a opportunity of making games

[@Indian.cricket911]

Am i the only one who felt jospeh was the only one who was being honesty ? Indian guy couldn't justify going public nor could accept he made a mistake by going public. Krafton guy was scared, he was trained about what and how much to say. 8bit was just trying to sell gaming. Gaming can never be a career in india. Most of the so called gamers earn through KZbin and streams whether than actual gaming. Nikhil knew people as are earning through streams rather than actual gaming. If you are giving your 10yr old an iPad then obviously he would not go out and play physical game. Sports is never going to die. Most of india cannot afford a good pc or a console. Not even a high end phone. Gaming will never become what it is in the US, in India.

[@kanishhh]

Partly true in the end but things are changing. 'chapris' as people say are able to get top tier phones on emi and what not easily. Also it's not really necessary for physical sport to die & esports to emerge as a sole survivor.

[@Indian.cricket911]

@@kanishhh I agree to the second part while I share different opinion regarding the affordability of high end devices. I do not think majority of india, which is the real india is still available to afford a phone worth 40 thousand. Even if we hypothetical think everyone has a good phone still it doesn't mean they wants to make a living out of it. As nikhil gave the stat, 96% gamers are mobile gamers. It is likely that they play games in their free time. Also It is extremely hard to make money from mobile games as compared to pc and console gaming. Majority revenue of gaming industry comes from the company who sell their game's copy. Eg gta, cod, etc. Even pubg is declining. I don't think there is any other mobile game through which gamers can make money. Majority of india cannot afford a high end pc or a console or even if they can then they don't get time to play. Work life balance is so bad in India. You cannot make a living out of Mobile games. You have to play pc/ console games which has a pretty small market in India. You would find more viewership on mobile games streams then pc games stream in India. Because majority of people are most of the time not even aware that there is this particular game called xyz. These so called gamers have started making vlogs and doing random challenges rather than playing the actual game.

​@@Indian.cricket911 India need to increase its per capita income for more disposable money after that...something can change

[@rushikeshbutley7576]

After moving to US from India working in Tech, I noticed lot of small things & reason why we lack such expertise. In china if you see the education system teach lot of low level stuff like working with Kernel, Embedded basically systems programming. Whereas in India you want to go learn next big thing which is problematic cause you haven’t understand basics and you start working on abstraction & fancy things. This is the main problem, which translates to skill set, bubble up & it leads to not having kind of expertise industry expects. Translating to us not being able to produce quality software.

[@Goosebumps_art]

Real salaries of Game Art and Design guys and for engineers it will be 20% more if you have good negotiation skill otherwise it will be same Small company: 2 LPA to 3.5 LPA (Entry level) Mid level company: 3.5 LPA to 6 LPA ( Entry level) Big company: 6-12 LPA (Entry level) Disclaimer: Mainly mid level and big companies not look for freshers.

[@finantic4427]

I cannot believe that today's age has made possible to record and share such information. Nikhil has been a great equalizer

[@LetsJustTalk241]

Gaming can't be your primary career choice. But the game development can be. games are basically an end product. like a movie. It's meant to be consumed. now you can watch so many movies and develop a skill to review or talk about movies, now that can be a career path. Even if you look at the esports industry all over the world, it's still nowhere nowhere near the mainstream sports industry. becaus you need a large audience who will be willing to watch esports. So comparing cricket and gaming is invalid as of now. Streaming games is a different thing. because it's a value addition. People are not watching you because you are playing a game, but you are adding something extra on top of it. maybe humor, knowledge, unique techniques, or your personality. and it will always be a niche compared to other career paths. So don't get confused about a gamer, streamer, and content creator

[@prasannakumar6895]

Nikhil and his team has done a tremendous job in identifying who's their target audience for the podcast and what do they want. Not once Nikhil has allowed the guests to go deeper into topics. Surface level analysis full of acronyms. It's a good podcast only if someone wants a basic idea. There's nothing in depth here. I came to this podcast with a very wrong expectation I think.

[@suneeln546]

I am living in Mumbai for almost 10+ years, though originally from Karnataka. I was once asked by my landlord when I was vacating the flat after 4 years if I knew anybody from Karnataka who wants to rent or from south if there was no one from Karnataka. The landlord was Delhiite who had few properties in Mumbai. He said people from Karnataka keep flats clean, I was surprised. He said, that's why he had kept my rents about 2+k below the market in same building. I was pleasantly surprised. Having lived in top 6 major Indian cities, I can saypeople in Bengaluru are indeed nice and modest. Delhi is for power and money, Mumbai is just money, Hyderabad is Movies crowd, Chennai is modest peoe, but not welcoming to outsiders, Ahmedabad is just boring AF and way too religious. I know it will hurt some people, but that's the fact. Also, I couldn't help but wonder after Paytm troubles, if that company was away from Delhi Power and Mumbai Old money, they would've had a better future. Old money has strong roots in Mumbai and Delhi, they don't tolerate any new entrants.

The real appeal of Ludo is its social aspect. People gather around one mobile device, making it more about relationships than the game itself. However, monetisation is challenging because players often play offline to avoid ads. In India, where people often gamble based on the game. Players can sometimes predict the game's randomness, leading to bets placed outside the game. This insight might help bring monetisation into the game.

[@svm6683]

Comments section seems everyone is taking about thug and thug and didn't even understood the deepness of this podcast we will having so much issue and we nothing what the world has achieved in gaming that the development, eSports(that is only bgmi nothing else much), funding and support

[@Kartikeysrajput]

yeah I'm so dissatisfied that they didn't talk elaboratively about future and progress of pc and console gaming in India and the criticality of piracy in India instead they talked so much about how mobile gaming is the future and blah blah and the juncture at which thug said that games will need to be fast pace and all that felt like utter bullshit to me for me games need to be good at 3 parameters which are story-gameplay-graphics , if a game stand strong on these then its most prolly gonna be great , sorry to say but we needed better insights than this , although I liked a lot of points spoken by joseph he talked about a lot of technical stuff too which were very penetrative .

[@DirectionGaming]

Sadly India Don't even own 1% of Actual Game Production Industry. Except Gambling games. We don't even have single Game Production Company with $Billion Valuations. But will Build 1. Literally I Just recently realized I'm the First Indian Game Developer Who Released "First Multiplayer PC Game" on steam. I'm not open for Investors because in Game Production Investor kills the project under pressure. Because Investor always hunting for profits and in Games Revenue don't come in before release. Which i Don't like. Allready rejected multiple Investments. And Krafton Incubation program is also Investment against equity. So I'm just open for Grant's/Supporters.
