PROFESSIONAL CLASH Royale player Prashant Pandey started gaming in 2015 while he was studying to become an engineer in Bengaluru. Five minutes of casual gaming turned into 15 hours a day and, in 2018, Pandey went on to represent India at the Clash Royale League e-sports competition in the US. He even started earning a six-figure salary as a player. This year, Pandey co-founded Qlan, a social network for India’s online gaming community, where players can look for jobs, broadcast their skills, share content, etc. “India’s online gaming industry is not what it used to be. It has gone beyond leisure and entertainment. It’s a full-fledged career opportunity in the making now. Just like Indian cricketers get salary from the BCCI [Board of Control for Cricket in India], online gamers can make upto ₹1.5 lakh [monthly] by playing for a team,” says Mumbai-based Pandey.
