The phenomenal rise of online gaming means that it could be the face of the digital India dream. The Indian Government has been remarkable with its digitalization initiatives such as Digital India, PM Digital Saksharta, the Jandhan, Aadhar, and Mobile (JAM) trinity, playing a pivotal role in bridging the digital divide and bringing better e-governance. But to become a trillion-dollar digital economy by 2025, we need all growing digital sectors, especially sunrise sectors like online gaming, to be protected by progressive and supportive policy frameworks that protect our homegrown nimble-footed startups that are generating revenue and creating employment. For any sector to innovate, there is one simple thing that all stakeholders look at – a policy that is stable, predictable, pro-investment, and allows for innovation and disruption. Perhaps, for the first time in modern history, India finds itself leading the world market of emerging technology with limitless potential and applications. We should do everything to retain this edge and stamp India’s position as a leader in the global tech-led innovation segment. At the same time, the Indian gaming startups can reinvent India for the rest of the world by creating games that reflect the history, culture and heritage of our great nation,” said Dr Subi Chaturvedi, Chief Corporate & Public Affairs Officer, Zupee

Celebrating community, creativity, and self-expression through a limited-edition drop inspired by India’s most vibrant subcultures.

MUMBAI, India, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Jameson Connects joins forces with India’s largest sneaker and streetwear retailer, Crepdog Crew, to launch a one-of-a-kind limited-edition capsule that celebrates the spirit of counterculture in India.
