It was the kind of coaching India’s PC esports scene rarely offers — direct, personal, and brutally honest.

## The Moment That Said Everything

One attendee, who travelled all the way from **Dehradun** just to be there, summed up the energy in the room perfectly:

*“There hasn’t been any event like this where I’ve learned so much. It made the community feel so honored.”*

That’s not hype. That’s a young gamer who packed a bag, crossed state lines, and came back with a clearer picture of their future. That’s what mentorship done right looks like.

## Why This Program Matters for Indian Esports?

India’s PC esports ecosystem has a well-known problem: **the gap between aspiring talent and professional players is wide, and structured coaching is rare**. Most young players grind alone, often without feedback, direction, or any understanding of what a real career in esports involves.

Red Bull Under My Wiiings directly targeted that gap. By giving 20 participants unfiltered access to V3nom — someone who has lived the journey — the program offered something no YouTube tutorial or online course can replicate: **context from someone who’s actually been there**.

V3nom didn’t just talk about winning games. He talked about the business of esports — sponsorships, content revenue, brand building, and the mental resilience needed to sustain a career in one of the world’s most competitive industries.

[Esports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esports) as an industry is growing rapidly across Asia, and India is increasingly being recognized as a market with significant untapped talent. Programs like Under My Wiiings are exactly what’s needed to convert raw potential into professional-grade players.

## V3nom and the Red Bull Legacy in Indian Esports

Ankit “V3nom” Panth is one of the most recognizable names in Indian competitive gaming — a player who built his career through consistency, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the esports ecosystem. As a Red Bull Athlete, he now carries the additional responsibility of giving back to the community that built him.

Under My Wiiings is the embodiment of that responsibility. And with Simar “psy” Sethi joining the program, participants got exposure to not one but two active perspectives on what it takes to compete at the top.

Keep your gameplay sharp, your mindset sharper, and your eyes on what Red Bull India does next.
