Marking another first in the Indian e-commerce industry, Flipkart announced the Flipkart Gaming Awards for the gaming community in India. The awards are a continuation of the Flipkart Gaming Championship that started from September 13 and will continue till September 20 and aims to honour the best among games, designers, gaming accessories, consoles and gamers.

Launched in partnership with brands such as Digit, the Flipkart Gaming Awards will recognise the outstanding achievements in the Indian gaming industry over the past year. The awards will cover games, consoles, gaming accessories and eSports gamers. The awards have five categories -- PC, console, games, accessories and others. The nominees for the awards will be selected on the popularity of the products. Winners will be determined through a public poll during the gaming championship on www.flipkartgamingawards.com. Through a mix of Facebook surveys, Twitter polls, and partnerships with bloggers, voters are directed to a micro-site, specifically designed for this purpose.

Adarsh K Menon, Vice-President, Electronics and Auto, Flipkart, said, “The Indian gaming ecosystem has been growing at a rapid pace, with Indian gamers emerging as major contenders on the global gaming scene. The Flipkart Gaming Awards is an acknowledgement of their achievements.

In the first few hours of announcement, we have received more than 4 lakh votes.”
