E-sports is a form of competition using video games. It often takes the form of organised, multiplayer video game competitions, particularly between professional players, individually or as teams.

Esports has become a significant factor in the video game industry since 2010 with many game developers actively designing and providing funding for tournaments and other events.

With a majority of viewers between the ages of 18 and 34, esports gained popularity from South Asia and Southeast Asia, and predominantly from India. Today, VLT sentinel, an Indian esports outfit floated by this 33-year-old entrepreneur-turned esports streamer, has to its credit the longest unprecedented streak of 24 wins, a record which is yet to be broken.
