Kamal Gianchandani, Chief of Strategy, PVR Limited, said, “Our purpose at PVR is to gather, grow and entertain communities. With us becoming a part of the Indian esports ecosystem, we have the opportunity to serve our purpose by giving PVR communities another entertaining way to gather on our esports platform. Nodwin team has a relentless passion for gaming, and we are delighted to be partnering with them on this initiative.” 

Talking about the partnership Akshat Rathee, Managing Director and Co-founder, NODWIN Gaming said, “Nodwin Gaming has always emphasized the importance of reinforcing grassroot development that can be a strong and reliable foundation for esports, and this property is a step in that direction. City-level penetration of professional esports leads to solid exposure for the grassroot ecosystem and as seen in the past, the more exposed the grassroots is, the better it gets at the higher tiers. This in turn paves the way for the collective growth of all tiers of professional players. Our association with PVR Cinemas opens a corridor towards mainstreaming esports and placing it right in the middle of the entertainment industry. Esports as an upcoming medium of interactive entertainment has had its fair share of visibility in the jam-packed arenas but it’s about time that we bring the action to the silver screen. Nodwin, along with building grassroots, will also give its audience a premium watching experience with this partnership.”

Our immersive environment lends itself particularly well to the gaming community, putting players in the universes in which they are competing. We are excited to bring big games to the big screen in collaboration with Nodwin Gaming”, added Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Joint Managing Director, PVR Limited.
