The youngest action superstar, Tiger Shroff, has taken a significant step in bridging the gap between Bollywood and the Indian Esports industry. In an exciting announcement made today through a joint press release, Tiger Shroff revealed his undisclosed investment in Revenant Esports, one of India’s rapidly growing esports teams.
Boosting Revenant Esports’ prospects, this strategic investment aims to strengthen their esports rosters, expand their pool of content creators, enhance their bootcamp infrastructure, and solidify their position as the premier esports organization in India. Additionally, the organization plans to extend its reach globally, further solidifying its presence on the international esports stage.
The CEO and Founder of Revenant Esports, Rohit Jagasia, expressed his delight at welcoming Tiger Shroff into the Revenant Esports family. Recognizing Tiger’s affinity for gaming and his connection with the millennial and Gen Z audience, he emphasized that Revenant offers him the ideal platform to actively engage with the Indian gaming community.
