Krafton India Exec. Anuj Tandon Leaving the Company; Here Is What It Could Mean for BGMI Unban

Anuj Tandon, Krafton India’s Head of Corporate Development and Investments has announced his decision to leave the popular mobile gaming company later this week.

The news comes as a shock to the BGMI community, as the game and its developers continue to pile on the efforts to repeal the ban imposed by the Indian government earlier this year.

Tandon’s exit marks the second major Krafton India executive to leave the studio this year, following Aneesh Aravind, Krafton India’s Head of Publishing’s departure in February.

Next week would be my last in KRAFTON India as Head of Corp Dev & investments (India & MENA) – Its been a privilege that in a stint of 1.9 years I had the opportunity to build an ecosystem in India for Gaming+ (M&E+Tech) & hopefully created an impact.

With several executives from Krafton already bidding goodbye, the future of BGMI in India seems bleak following its recent suspension.

While rumors have talked about potential unbans at the end of the year, esteemed members of the community including content creators, pro players and executives at top organizations believe that BGMI could be meeting its demise in the near future.

With no future in sight for BGMI, the Indian Mobile Esports scene faces another major blow, as its growth has been stunted by the lack of its most popular title.

While there seems to be no BGMI in Indian Esports’ future, other titles like Call of Duty: Mobile have stepped up to the plate, and it will be interesting to see if the sector could pick up momentum soon.
