Behuria said, “This assignment is challenging, yet exciting. The Online Gaming industry is outstripping most other sections of our economy, growing at 30 percent annually and contributing significantly to tax revenues. Sure, there are complex policy issues here and I hope to be a contributor to this process. That being said, players and companies similarly need a safe and enriching experience, in order to realize their need for growth. I look forward to being part of AIGF’s Advisory Panel, and I believe that their Charter will catalyze inclusive growth. Monitored stringently, this will lead to an accelerated expansion in a new-age industry and provide healthy revenues to the authorities as well.”
