We started Penta Esports with a focus on engaging gamers at the grassroot level and enabling them to go to professional leagues. The only criteria we had for participation was that none of the players will be a professional level player. We want to give the spotlight to amateurs and semi professionals,” Khurana stated.

Their major source of revenue comes from media rights, brand sponsorships and advertisement revenue.

“Our major source of revenue was brand sponsorship last fiscal as we could not leverage our media rights since we were streaming the tournaments on our channels. For us, the whole purpose of partnering with Loco and Booyah was to get the reach to spread the message about the tournament,” Khurana concluded.
