Season 4 takes this vision further by championing inclusivity at every level, from campus qualifiers and grassroots challengers to professional athletes and all-women teams on national television. Our goal has always been to create a platform where every gamer, regardless of background, has a real path to greatness,” said Akshat Rathee, Co-Founder and Managing Director of NODWIN Gaming.
The tournament’s title sponsorship continues with OnePlus, which also powers the campus qualifiers initiative. Android remains the co-title sponsor for its second consecutive year, while other key sponsors include Swiggy as the Official Food Delivery Partner, Bisleri as Official Hydration Partner, TVS Motor Company as Official Mobility Partner, Duolingo English Test as Official Learning Partner, and Red Bull returning for a second season.
With live broadcasts on Star Sports Khel and JioHotstar, BGMS Season 4 holds the distinction of being the only Indian esports tournament to air on national television during prime time. The event spans multiple weeks, showcasing fierce competition among India’s best Battlegrounds Mobile India players, while providing fresh visibility for the growing esports landscape.
This season’s renewed focus on inclusivity, new competitive formats, and strengthened partnership ecosystem signals continued growth for Indian esports amid rising global and domestic interest.
