Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports, expressed his excitement about the roadmap, stating, “Our vision since inception in 2018 was to create indigenous IPs and bring international players and teams to India. The 2025 CS2 esports roadmap is a testament to that as we will be hosting all four events in India, with global teams participating. These tournaments will not only strengthen Skyesports’ position as a global esports brand but also showcase India as a crucial market for world-class international esports events.”

 

Sudarshan S, Head of PC Esports at Skyesports, added, “Being an India-based esports company, we are able to ensure that local esports players are given a platform to showcase their skills and compete in the biggest CS2 events of the world. Additionally, we believe in the power of grassroots and that’s why we will be hosting open qualifiers across different regions globally.”

 

It’s no surprise that the announcement comes at a time when the global esports market is experiencing significant growth, expected to reach 7.5 billion dollars by 2030 according to credible sources like Verified Market Research.
