Commenting on the same, Anshu Patni Singh, founder of CHNO says “TV consumption among young adults has reduced considerably in the last four years.

At CHNO, we work closely with gaming creators and esports talents to create larger opportunities for them through interesting pieces of content both offline and online. These content pieces are proven to be more beneficial for gaming publishers and brands as compared to basic social media marketing. With talent like Tanishq, Omkar and Paras (Fortnite Players ) through our partnership with Fortnite team Playground Esports we intend to bring these sports heroes closer to their audiences through curated content and smart brand partnerships.”
