A meaningful beach cleanup at Mahim Beach was carried out by the Indian Valorant playing community to commemorate one year since the introduction of the first Indian agent, Harbor. This also marked an entire year of India’s presence in the Valorant’s in-game ecosystem and serves as a unique opportunity for Global Esports, the unrivaled leader in South Asia’s gaming scene to engage with and give back to the Indian gaming community.
The entire team of Global Esports including Founders Dr. Rushindra Sinha & Mohit Israney were present. Others in participation included popular esports athletes Binks, Pinkcess, Casper, Jimmy Gaming, Harsh Khelraay, and SkRossi, and the management and creators from various organizations Global Esports (GE) is also the only South Asian Riot-partnered team in the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) and has recently announced its roster for the 2024 season.
Speaking on the occasion, Arun Rajappa, Country Manager, India & South Asia, at Riot Games said, “We are grateful to the vibrant Indian gaming community, and believe that the success of Harbor is a testament to their unwavering support. The inclusion of an Indian agent not only highlights the significance of the thriving gaming community within the country but also underscores India’s rising influence in the global gaming arena. We are committed to delivering even more innovative and inclusive gaming experiences for our audience here, while also giving back to the community that has embraced our efforts wholeheartedly.”
Riot Games has been actively engaged in fostering community engagement and enhancing the player experience with multiple initiatives.
