With the introduction of capable and less-expensive smart phones, 4G technology, mobile games, better content, better graphics, and significant prize money, the active esports community in India grew from 4 million in 2018 to 507 million mobile gamers today, providing a focused audience for MOGO's advertisers, sponsors, and merchandise sales.
