EXCLUSIVE | 'India Has The Talent. Now We're Building The Pathway': JioBLAST CEO Charlie Cowdrey On Esports Future

India's gaming industry has grown rapidly over the past decade, attracting global publishers, esports organisations, creators and brands eager to tap into one of the world's fastest-growing digital audiences. However, despite the scale of the market, Indian players have struggled to establish a consistent presence at the highest levels of international esports competition. Speaking exclusively to ABP Live English, Charlie Cowdrey, Chief Executive Officer of JioBLAST, said the country already has the talent required to compete with the best in the world. 'The Bigger Challenge Has Been The Pathway' Asked why India has not produced enough globally competitive esports champions despite having one of the world's largest gaming populations, Cowdrey dismissed the idea that talent is the problem. "I don't believe it's a talent problem at all. India has over 500 million gamers, making it one of the largest gaming communities in the world. The bigger challenge has been the pathway between being a talented gamer and becoming a world-class professional." According to Cowdrey, traditional sports benefit from established systems that help identify and nurture talent. Esports in India is still in the process of building those foundations. "In traditional sports, you have academies, structured leagues, coaching, scouting systems and clear progression. Esports in India is still building those foundations. We've made tremendous progress in infrastructure, but areas like coaching, performance analytics, talent development and sustained international exposure are still evolving." He added that creating champions requires long-term ecosystem development rather than isolated events. "Building champions isn't about one tournament - it's about building an ecosystem. Publishers, teams, tournament organisers, governments and brands all have a role to play." ALSO READ: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Codes: How To Grab Free Animus Keys, Pets, Exclusive Rewards India Rising Is About More Than Just A Tournament That philosophy sits at the heart of India Rising: Road to EWC, a recently launched initiative by JioBLAST and the Esports Foundation that aims to create direct qualification opportunities for Indian players to compete at the Esports World Cup 2026. The platform includes Chess as an official qualification pathway to the Esports World Cup, competitive tournaments in VALORANT and MOBA Legends: 5v5, participation from major esports organisations such as S8UL and GodLike, and a live LAN finale in Mumbai. Cowdrey stressed that India Rising is designed to address a larger structural challenge within Indian esports. "India Rising was never intended to be just another tournament. It's a platform designed to bring together competitive gaming, creators, fans, publishers, brands and the wider gaming community under one roof." He argued that India's esports ecosystem has often been fragmented, with different communities operating independently of one another. "One of India's biggest challenges has been fragmentation. Different games and communities often operate independently. We wanted to create a platform where the entire ecosystem comes together while also connecting Indian players to one of the biggest global stages through our partnership with the Esports Foundation." Why Global Esports Companies Are Looking At India As global gaming companies increasingly focus on India, the conversation has expanded beyond player numbers alone. Cowdrey believes international publishers now view India as a unique combination of audience scale, creator influence and future growth potential. "Increasingly, they see all of those things. India has over 500 million gamers, and nearly 65% of the population is under the age of 35, making it one of the world's youngest digital audiences." But the attraction goes beyond demographics. "What makes India especially exciting today isn't just audience size, it's cultural influence. Indian creators are driving gaming conversations across platforms, local communities are growing rapidly, and fans want experiences designed specifically for India rather than global templates." According to him, India is evolving into an opportunity spanning content, technology, live events, creators and digital entertainment. "As our tournament ecosystem, infrastructure and monetisation continue to mature, India has the potential to become one of the industry's most important long-term growth markets." ALSO READ: BGMI's Biggest Update Yet Lets You Swing, Climb And Fight Like Spider-Man Why Brands Are Suddenly Interested In Gaming The growth of gaming communities has also attracted brands that traditionally had little connection to esports or gaming culture. Cowdrey said gaming offers something many traditional media channels struggle to replicate. "Gaming is one of the few places where entertainment, community and participation all happen at the same time." Unlike passive audiences, gaming communities actively shape the experiences they engage with. "Fans don't just consume content, they interact with it, create it, compete in it and build communities around it." This level of engagement is becoming increasingly attractive for companies looking to connect with younger consumers. "For many companies, gaming is no longer simply another marketing channel, it's one of the most effective ways to build long-term relevance with Gen Z and younger audiences." A New Opportunity For Players Beyond Metro Cities Cowdrey believes the biggest impact of initiatives such as India Rising could be felt far beyond India's largest cities. He said aspiring esports athletes from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities now have greater visibility into what a professional pathway could look like. "The biggest change is that the pathway becomes visible and accessible." He pointed out that technology is helping reduce geographical barriers that once limited opportunities for talented players. "Online tournaments, creator communities and structured national competitions mean talented players can emerge from anywhere in the country." Importantly, Cowdrey argued that gaming's future extends beyond professional competition. "The gaming industry also creates opportunities in coaching, broadcasting, production, content creation, event management and many other careers." For JioBLAST, the long-term objective is straightforward. "Our goal is simple: where you're born shouldn't determine how far your talent can take you. That's the ecosystem we're building alongside our partners and through our collaboration with the Government of Maharashtra." As India continues to cement its position as one of the world's largest gaming markets, the next challenge may not be attracting players or audiences. It may be creating the systems capable of turning that scale into sustained global success. According to Cowdrey, that journey starts by solving the pathway problem.

Weekly Insulin Could Be A Game-Changer For Diabetes Care; Here's Why

Weekly Insulin Could Be A Game-Changer For Diabetes Care; Here's Why

Millions of individuals worldwide have been treated for diabetes with regular insulin injections for decades. However, patients now have a new option thanks to advancements in diabetes management. The world's first once-weekly basal insulin, Awiqli (insulin icodec), was released in a number of nations, including India, by the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk (NOVOb.CO). For those who qualify, the procedure may make managing diabetes more convenient by reducing the annual number of injections from 365 to just 52. Although this is a significant advancement, experts stress that not everyone should use weekly insulin in place of daily insulin. Rather, it increases the variety of diabetic treatment options. ALSO READ |Colon Cancer Cells Can Change Identity To Spread Faster: Study How Daily And Weekly Insulin Differ When the body is unable to adequately make or utilise insulin, insulin treatment helps control blood sugar levels. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) states that basal insulin maintains steady glucose levels by working gradually throughout the day and night. Conventional basal insulins need to be injected once a day and have a half-day half-life. In contrast, patients can administer a single injection every seven days while receiving comparable background insulin coverage using Novo Nordisk's insulin icodec (Awiqli), which is designed to stay effective for a full week. The primary difference between the two treatments is how often they must be given, even though they both seek to achieve consistent blood sugar management. Is Weekly Insulin Suitable For Everyone? Even though once-weekly insulin is convenient, not all patients should receive it. Adults with type 2 diabetes who need basal insulin are currently the primary target. Traditional daily insulin schedules may still be more beneficial for people on complicated insulin regimens, such as several mealtime injections. After taking into account variables such as blood glucose patterns, other drugs, general health, lifestyle, and the person's risk of low blood sugar, medical professionals choose the best course of action. Potential Benefits Beyond Convenience There may be benefits to reducing injections that go beyond comfort. According to studies, injection tiredness or worries about giving daily injections drive many patients to postpone starting insulin or occasionally miss doses. For certain people, a weekly routine could facilitate long-term diabetes control and increase treatment adherence. In people with type 2 diabetes, clinical trials assessing insulin icodec have also shown blood sugar management comparable to once-daily basal insulin, indicating that fewer injections may not always equate to less efficacy. Managing Diabetes Still Requires Daily Care Diabetes care is still a daily task, even though insulin may only be administered once a week. Maintaining good glycaemic control still requires regular blood glucose testing, a healthy diet, exercise, controlling weight and taking other prescription medications. Additionally, because different insulin formulations have varying dose schedules and monitoring requirements, experts advise patients to never alter their insulin regimen without first visiting their healthcare physician. ALSO READ |Bryan Johnson Reveals His Ambitious Blueprint To Tackle Rare Autoimmune Disease Looking Ahead One of the biggest advancements in the treatment of diabetes in recent years is the introduction of Novo Nordisk's once-weekly insulin. For many adults with type 2 diabetes, it may increase convenience and treatment adherence by lessening the strain of frequent injections. Experts emphasise that weekly insulin should not be used in place of daily insulin, but rather as an extra choice. The best course of action is still to properly regulate blood sugar while taking into account a patient's lifestyle and medical requirements.

MG Hector Hawk PHEV Vs Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid: What’s The Big Difference?

MG Hector Hawk PHEV Vs Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid: What’s The Big Difference?

MG will unveil it's next product for India tomorrow which is the Hector Hawk and it is a plug-in hybrid which brings further limelight to hybrid cars. The Hector Hawk is a plug in hybrid which means it has a sizeable battery pack plus a petrol engine which means it will go on electric mode and yet it can be fuelled but also it can be charged. The advantage is that it has a larger battery pack vs a strong hybrid powertrain and that means it can drive longer in electric mode. A strong hybrid like an Innova Hycross meanwhile also has an electric mode but less electric range and it will be in electric mode for a shorter time. On the other hand, the Hycross Hybrid will not require any charging unlike a Plug in hybrid as it will only require fuelling like any petrol car. Also Read : New Maruti Suzuki Brezza Bookings Open: New Turbo Petrol Engine Expected Plug-in hybrids could bridge the gap with EVs While hybrids are few in number but gaining popularity, the arrival or Plug in hybrid cars meanwhile will further bridge the gap between a hybrid and an EV. Basically a plug in hybrid means it will have a decent amount of range for being an electric car but also have a petrol engine for no range anxiety. While we will get more strong hybrid cars, going forward we can also expect more plug in hybrid options which will be beneficial for the Indian car buyer.
