Meghalaya set to sponsor Jubilant Divine Esports

Indian esports team based out of Meghalaya, Jubilant Divine Esports has found a new sponsor in the Government of Meghalaya. Meghalaya becomes the first-ever Indian state to officially sponsor an esports team while Telangana is reported to be likely to become the first state to introduce comprehensive esports policies. 

The Government of Meghalaya plans to develop esports infrastructure, host events and will be providing ‘comprehensive support’ to the players with the goal of helping them represent Meghalaya and India on the biggest stages including the Olympics in the future, hopefully. 

Wanshankupar Suchiang, CEO of Jubilant Divine Esports, commented,

“We are extremely proud that the Meghalaya government believed in our vision and supported us. We aim to grow esports in the state. Our goal is to prepare for medal events in the Olympics and to compete in esports titles globally. Currently, we have our Battlegrounds Mobile India roster, but we are planning to expand into other game titles such as Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, and Dota, among others. It always benefits the ecosystem when the government shares the same vision of growing esports in the country.

‘The government sponsoring the team is a positive sign for the Indian gaming ecosystem. We truly believe that India has a huge potential in not only gaming but in esports as well.”

Jubilant Divine Esports released a statement which read,

“In a landmark move for the esports community in Meghalaya, Shri Kyrmen Shylla, Minister of Excise, along with Meghalaya Sports Minister Shri Shakliar Warjri, have publicly shown their support for esports for the first time ever. Shri Kyrmen Shylla has extended his support to Jubilant Divine Esports, the only team representing Meghalaya in the ongoing BMPS Tournament. The ministers emphasised that this is just the beginning, as they plan to work closely with the Meghalaya government to transform the state into a hub for esports.”
