Gaming is not widely accepted as a favorable career path by many parents in India [00:01:17]. Despite the significant growth of the gaming industry in India [00:00:56], and the observation that young people under 31 are spending more time on gaming and social media than on traditional media like TV or sports [00:00:48], parental apprehension remains a hurdle.
