In India, like other countries, parents and society can be skeptical about the gaming profession. What questions would you ask Indian teenagers to understand how they face mistrust from others? How do parents perceive their children’s success in the eSports industry and what steps are they taking to support their career ambitions?

    In India, there is a traditional negative attitude towards career choices that seem unstable or unfamiliar. A career in eSports is no exception. Parents often think that gaming is a waste of time. I would be interested to know how teenagers who have become successful gamers convince their parents that they can achieve greatness in the industry. For those who want to understand how a career in gaming is perceived in India, I recommend reading the material at https://theenterpriseworld.com/indian-teen-gaming-millionaires/ , which looks at real-life stories of such teenagers and their relationships with their families.

    In India, parents often perceive a career as a gamer as something unreliable, questionable, and unstable. However, with the growing popularity of eSports, especially among the youth, attitudes are gradually changing. Many teenagers who started out as simple hobbyists for gaming are now becoming successful entrepreneurs, earning millions. This is forcing the parent community to rethink their views on the industry. It is important for parents to support their children in their endeavors and see how video games can be a real tool for career and development.

    That's a great question! I'd ask teens things like: How do you explain your career choice to your parents? Have you faced pressure to choose a traditional career? What could change the perception of gaming as a profession? Parents often feel skeptical, but some are beginning to see eSports as a potential career. Teens can help change this by showcasing their achievements and creating opportunities through tournaments or content creation.
