    Iqoo plays its ace, hunts for a gen z gaming guru with Rs 10 lakh bounty

    MUMBAI: Hold onto your controllers, Gen Z gamers—Iqoo has decided it’s time to level up your gaming obsessions into something that pays real cash. The tech brand known for smartphones faster than your pizza delivery has now set out to find India’s ultimate gaming pro. The reward? A jaw-dropping Rs 10 lakh. Forget bragging rights; we’re talking serious gamer currency here!

    Iqoo has kicked off the epic quest for its 2025 chief gaming officer (CGO), a role packed with more perks than a cheat code. The chosen gaming genius will help co-create new smartphones, steer the brand’s ambitious eSports vision, and hobnob with India’s gaming elite. Sounds better than a power-up mushroom, doesn’t it?

    The CGO gets exclusive first dibs on the latest Iqoo gadgets and the chance to represent the brand at epic global gaming events. Better start practising those winning speeches and perfecting your gaming stance—your big break might be just a button-click away.

    Iqoo India CEO Nipun Marya says, “We have always believed in the power of India’s gaming community, and the phenomenal response to our previous CGO hunt reaffirmed this. After receiving countless requests from our community, we knew we had to bring it back. At Iqoo, we are committed to empowering young gaming enthusiasts by giving them a platform to step into the eSports industry and shape the future of mobile gaming in India. With CGO as an I.P, we continue to create opportunities for Questers to turn their passion into a profession and be a part of the vision.”

    With registrations open on Iqoo India’s website until 30 March 2025, young gamers aged 18-25 are invited to apply for this dream gig. The CGO will not only strategise with Iqoo’s top brass but also interact closely with over two million Questers from Iqoo Connect, the brand’s vibrant community.

    The Indian gaming community is exploding like popcorn in a microwave, growing at 14.6 per cent annually from 2018 to 2024, according to IMARC. India now boasts nearly 48 crore gamers—a number larger than some countries’ entire populations!

    Iqoo has already made waves, teaming up with gaming legends like Dynamo Gaming, GamerFleet, Mortal, Payal Gaming, Scout, Shreeman Legend, and UnGraduate Gamer. These superstars have stress-tested Iqoo’s devices, ensuring they’re battle-ready for the toughest gaming showdowns.

    BGMI players to co-create Rondo anthem for the game’s biggest map drop

    MUMBAI: If you thought dropping into a new BGMI map was exciting, imagine having your words immortalised in its official anthem! Krafton India is handing the mic to the BGMI community, giving players the power to co-create the official Rondo anthem. With the highly anticipated launch of Rondo, BGMI’s latest battleground, fans now have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to influence the game’s legacy.

    This initiative isn’t just about launching a map—it’s about making the community’s passion heard, quite literally. Players can submit their words and lyrics describing what Rondo means to them via:

    1    Instagram comments – Dropping lyrical heat on BGMI’s official posts.

    2    In-game mail survey – Making their mark straight from the game.

    Select words from the community will be transformed into the official Rondo anthem, ensuring players’ voices live on in BGMI history. As a tribute, the anthem will be integrated into BGMI’s 3.7 update as the new lobby music—so every time players gear up, they’ll hear the echoes of their own creativity.

    The first teaser of the anthem lands on 13 March, while the full track, featuring stunning cinematic visuals of Rondo’s vast landscapes, goes live on 18 March. To turn up the hype, Krafton India is rolling out an all-new campaign, ‘Aao Kabhi Rondo Mein’, inviting players to explore the battleground in ways they never have before.

    The campaign runs from 7-16 March, so get involved and claim your spot in BGMI’s musical and gaming history.
