🎮 Unleashing the Power of Skill Games: Introducing SOGI! 🎮

The gaming landscape is evolving rapidly, and the time has come to have a reliable, up-to-date resource for everything related to skill-based online games. That's where the Skill Online Games Institute (SOGI) steps in!

Set to be the go-to hub for credible data about skilled online games, SOGI's mission is to keep stakeholders informed about the latest industry trends and developments. With global gaming revenues estimated at $159.3 billion in 2020, it's essential that we protect and nurture this vibrant sector in India.

SOGI's focus will be on three key areas: Cataloguing information, Research with academic institutions, and Presentations to various stakeholders including ministries, academia, regulators, and other key players. In doing so, it will cover a broad spectrum of topics, such as data, research, legal precedents, expert opinions, tax implications, and regulatory frameworks from different regions.

Going beyond just the numbers, SOGI will also delve into various aspects of the gaming industry, including its economic impact, effects on user well-being, the intricate balance between skill and chance, policies against illegal gambling, and more—equipping stakeholders with the knowledge they need to make well-informed decisions. By minimizing emotional and moralistic influences, SOGI aims to become the ultimate source of unbiased, fact-based information.

To ensure thorough, well-researched data, even in areas with a current lack, SOGI has entered into collaborative partnerships with influential institutions like IIM Bangalore, IIT Roorkee, and the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS), with more alliances in the works.

Bringing in a wealth of experience in leading industries, Amrit Kiran Singh, Government Affairs veteran, has been tapped as the President of SOGI. Having played critical roles with the PMO, Niti Aayog, and the Inter-Ministerial Task Force, Amrit has been instrumental in formalizing the Skilled Online Games industry over the past 15 months.

Speaking on the exciting new venture, Amrit shared, "We're thrilled to introduce SOGI—an industry initiative dedicated to empowering the potential of skill-based games, particularly in India, where the online games industry is experiencing remarkable growth and worldwide recognition."

Amrit continued, "India's gaming industry may only represent a 1% global market share now, but as a leading IT powerhouse, we have the potential to capture 5% to 10% of the market with the right support. Although the recent GST increase presents challenges for Indian gamers, SOGI will serve as a comprehensive knowledge hub for stakeholders, fostering growth and promoting responsible consumption. Our objective is to harness the full potential of the skilled online games industry for the benefit of the nation while minimizing its negative aspects."

The robust growth of skilled online games in India has captured global attention for its significant economic contributions. As a committed advocate of the sector, SOGI aims to empower stakeholders, facilitating educated decisions and cementing the industry's future success.
