"There is a great future": BGMI content creator Sonali Singh

During this exclusive conversation with Sportskeeda Esports, BGMI content creator Sonali Singh touched on several aspects, including the strides women made in gaming in 2022. She was quoted as follows:

"It would be a pretty decent statement to make that India has seen a tremendous amount of women in gaming, starting from playing the game professionally to managing teams, working in the gaming production unit to owning and running an esports organization. I have seen organizations recruit professional women only teams in 2022 "

Further, Sonali shared her thoughts on potential game-related careers that young women can embark on in 2023. The content creator suggested that pursuing a career as an esports athlete could be a safe bet. She stated:

"Currently, a lot of investors have put their money in games like BGMI, Pokémon Unite, PUBG New State and Valorant. We see tournaments happening very frequently with a whopping 7 digit prize pool. This means there is a great future and that young women who are esports athletes can safely invest their time. Not just playing professionally, a lot of other professions have opened doors in the IT sector for gaming as well"

Finally, the BGMI star emphasized:

"It's time that we normalize women in the gaming sector since we have seen so many female gamers step up in the past few years. India has come a long way in seeing women in all walks of life, be it IT or Medicine"
