WinZO has launched its flagship talent mentorship program, Battle of Super Scholars (BOSS). This initiative, in partnership with India’s top six B-schools—IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow, FMS Delhi, and ISB—aims to mentor the nation’s brightest minds, empowering them to drive India’s leadership in tech innovation, boost IP export-led growth of the sector, and firmly place India among the top global gaming markets.
Through the BOSS program, WinZO aims to inspire young product and tech talent to pursue entrepreneurship in gaming and solve the frontier challenges facing the sector. In the process, India’s gaming sector can become a $60 billion opportunity and increase employment by 20 times, resulting in the creation of over 2 million jobs.
The PM also highlighted India’s heritage, skilled workforce, and digital infrastructure as a means to make India the leading global gaming market in his 78th Independence Day address.
“Through this platform, we aim to tap into and invest in the top talent from India’s premier institutes early on, equipping them to tackle business challenges head-on. We are confident that these young minds will bring forward innovative ideas that will form the foundation of India’s burgeoning sectors,” said Paavan Nanda, co-founder, WinZO.
“Our commitment to showcasing Indian entrepreneurship, both domestically and globally, remains steadfast. India has all the right ingredients to become a global tech powerhouse. The students we see now will revolutionize the gaming industry, shaping its future not just in India, but also across the globe,” he added.
