23-year-old software engineer from Nagpur, Ved Bamb, has made history by becoming the first Indian Pokémon GO player to qualify for the prestigious Pokémon World Championships. The event is scheduled to take place from August 16–18, 2024, in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
Ved Bamb will represent India on the global stage, competing in one of the world’s most popular gaming events. The Pokémon World Championships features a prize pool totalling USD 2 million.

Advancing to playoffs, he faced India’s 15 best players and won every single match without a loss. As the first Indian ever, Ved’s journey from Nagpur to Honolulu marks a monumental milestone for the Indian esports industry.
