“At Qlan we dedicated several months on research and surveyed over 5,000 gamers to garner insights to better understand their problems. This is what encouraged us to build a dedicated platform for the gaming and esports community. Gamers communicate differently, they need to showcase themselves on a purpose-driven platform, whether they’re looking to go pro with esports contracts and celebrity-style “partner” streaming agreements or just looking for their next gig as a gaming professional. Qlan is built with a focused vision on creating a robust and sustainable gaming and esports ecosystem starting in India then world over,” said Sagar Nair, Co-Founder & CEO, Qlan.

The app is a one-stop solution to:
1. Create custom Solo, Squad & Org profiles
2. Showcase gaming skills by syncing in-game statistics
3. Access AI enabled gamer matchmaking for verified connections
4. Share gaming & esports content with an option to monetize early
5. Promote esports tournaments & IPs to a target audience
6. Get recognized & discovered as an esports/gaming professional

While commenting on the app, Co-Founder & CBO, Navin Talreja, said, “We saw how the absence of a professional esports hub limits the overall growth of the gaming ecosystem. We reached out and spoke to 40+ gaming organisations in India to understand their pain points. The need for them to get access to and engage with a targeted audience is higher than ever, with the clutter across existing platforms. The barriers are immense for gaming content creators to monetize their work which is something Qlan will actively address. Gaming is much bigger than just going pro and Qlan will facilitate a place for gamers, creators and orgs to bond over their passion for gaming and bolster their universes. “

Qlan envisions to become the most trusted and secured platform for the gaming and esports community in the coming days. They’re currently building an early access waitlist which has already seen over 10,000 sign-ups within a span of two weeks.
