JetSynthesys acquires Chennai-based esports organization, Skyesports. Titled ‘Jet Skyesports Gaming,’ the new entity has been created with a vision to build esports at the grass-root level in India ahead of the Asian Games 2022, which will include esports as a medal event for the first time in the history of all such tournaments.

This acquisition strengthens Skyesports’ pan-India proliferation and also sets the stage for its expansion from India to South Asia, helping the brand create more IPs and strengthen its team.

In the last year, Skyesports has created significant buzz in the esports market with various tournament IPs such as Skyesports League, Skyesports Grand Slam, Skyesports Championship and more. This makes the acquisition, JetSynthesys’ second major investment in esports.

Speaking about the acquisition, Rajan Navani, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, JetSynthesys says, “We are happy to have Shiva and his team as part of the JetSynthesys family. Next year is a year of reckoning for esports globally as it becomes a medal event at the Asian Games, the first in the history of any such prestigious global tournament. Indian gaming has immense potential, and the talent which resides in the non-metros often goes unnoticed. Our vision, therefore, is to build esports at the grass-root level and empower individuals who have a passion for gaming to make a career of it. Through Jet Skyesports, we will grow the esports ecosystem to cover the deepest parts of India, to make it more mainstream, and to also mold international-level talent from here to represent the country at global events as powerful contenders.”

“This is a well-timed partnership and we are very happy that JetSynthesys and Skyesports’ vision are on the same track. The esports and gaming market is growing at a rapid pace in the country and the investment comes as a strategic move and at the right time to explore bigger opportunities,” shares Shiva Nandy, the CEO and founder of Skyesports, adding, “We will work together to create many IPs for the gaming and esports enthusiasts in the country. Our core focus will still be on the grassroots level and on regional content and we will expand exponentially, added Gnana Shekar, CMO of Skyesports.”
