Speaking at the launch, Justice Vikramjit Sen said, "The industry is tasked with developing new technologies and driving the growth in gaming which has tremendous potential and promise. Each chapter of this book is well-researched, addressing particular aspects of gaming in India and allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. I was also impressed by the Index of the book which doesn't always get time and effort but is probably one of the most important elements of a well-researched book. Beautifully printed and thoughtfully compiled, the authors have done an excellent job. Anyone with even a remote interest in this industry will find it to be a go-to resource. Congratulations to all involved."

Amrit Kiran Singh, added, "This is a nascent industry with a mammoth potential for good for the Indian economy. This book in conjunction with the 'Skill-Chance Framework' developed by Dr Bimal Roy of the Indian Statistical Institute gives the regulators both data and tools that will help them create better regulations. For example, there is talk of the Online Gaming Industry being split up into E-Sports, Video Games, Real Money Games and Free to Play Games. This will be against the 'Ease of doing business' being promoted by the Modi government and will be a disaster. Similarly, the Skill and Chance Framework now gives the government the tool they need to regulate effectively and simply. I take this opportunity to thank NUJS and Dr Bimal Roy. These two developments will be a big help to the regulators."
