This article aims to delve deeper into the course of the development of E-Sports and Online Gaming Ecosystem in India and the effect of recent amendments and decisions by the Courts. In India, this has helped in providing more employment opportunities to people and has also helped India sustain itself during the tough times of Covid-19. Yet, during all this time there was no official recognition on part of the Government for these events or even to the Online gaming platforms. This was followed by the 2022 Amendment in the Allocation of Business Rules, 2022 which officially recognized E-Sports and online gaming in India. As a result, this amendment is a welcome move to strengthen the Online Gaming ecosystem in India which would further contribute to the GDP of the Country.
