Riot Games India boss Anurag Khurana as its e-sports head. He is a veteran in the Indian games industry, having worked on one of India’s first PC games, BattleDust: The Championship, at Paradox Studios (not to be confused with the European publisher Paradox) as well as having worked at Guitar Hero developer RedOctane. News of Reliance Jio's entry into the e-sports space comes after months of speculation among those within the industry, some of whom have informed Gadgets 360 that the Internet giant has its sights set on capitalising on this section of gaming, as well as tipping us off on the change to Khurana's LinkedIn profile which now reads 'Head of e-sports at Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd'. 5h6e6b

It will be interesting to see how Jio tackles the space. Considering that competitive mobile titles like Jio Gigafiber service.

Nonetheless, with mobile game companies like concerted effort in the space, the timing could be right for Reliance Jio to capitalise on the current surge of activity.
