The evolution of gaming has been very rapid and fast in India. Parents, too, have now started supporting budding gamers. A few years back, people didn’t even know about gamer and gaming casting being a full-time career. I am happy that the times have changed now."

Gaurang aka Matgonian had his own way of joining the gaming community. He said, "I was doing my job alongside YouTube, I resigned only after I crossed 700K subs. I found gaming to be very versatile, especially open-world games like GTA/Minecraft, where all I needed was some creative imagination, and the games were there to make it happen. Imagination has no limits, hence gaming content has no limits."

While Fenton aka Abhishek added, "I started my journey during COVID. Whether directly or indirectly, lockdown made a huge change in gaming (especially mine) and the last event was all lit thanks to connecting with creators I used to admire and watch since childhood, interacting and playing with them was all I could ask for."

Risible Twins, "We started making videos a few years ago, mainly because we enjoyed playing video games and the process of content creation. There were only a few creators back in the day, But now we have this huge community of gamers/creators which is just awesome."
