The high usage of smart phones and social networking sites and the record breaking success of the games like angry birds has opened up new business opportunities and avenues in gaming business.

The gaming industry has huge potential as global companies are using the services from India and china in this segment. The size of the gaming industry is estimated at Rs.1300 crore and increasing day by day, and India needs 10,000 game developers every year to meet the current demands.

Game designing is a creative  and specialized art, and includes a host of functions like script and story writers, designers, animators, programmers, and engineers and the gaming industry opens business opportunities in all these related fields.

Business opportunities in mobile and casual gaming space are also increasing with the boom in the gaming industry.

India is a country rich in culture, arts, history, customs and we are a country who loves cinema, stories, any content of high drama, emotion, action and entertainment and gaming is the new opium of this century.

Information and technology is a sector where a quarter of the total work force comprises women, but when it comes to a leadership or the role at the top the figure sadly is very  low, even when women have proved to be as capable, efficient as men in this sector. Women have all the requisite qualities needed for good leader.

Only one in every 10 senior management positions is occupied by a women in the Indian IT sector, but it is the most preferred sector by women only in the entry level positions while the count of the middle level position remains constant. So, though their numbers have increased in this sector their numbers at the top leadership is not satisfactory.

There are many factors attributing to theses dismal low figures of women at top leadership and it is alarming that a large number drop out of the race at crucial period of their career due to family reasons or due to child birth, or pursuing other career options. Women also find it difficult to find suitable jobs to come back after a break of 2 to 3 years.

This is a huge setback for women in it sector as time and again they have proved their mettle in leadership skills and they are top performers at their work. They also possess a better understanding of human relations, co ordination, multi tasking and possess strong business ethics and blend in the business culture with ease.

A recent survey said that only 36% of the women in the information a technology sector wanted to be at the top leadership position and be part of the senior management, while 18% of the women said they wanted to own their own firms. Clearly this indicates women do possess leadership skills but the numbers prove to the contrary.

There is famous proverb that says, “Action speaks louder than words”.

To adapt this proverb a new kind of leadership style has given birth to style of leadership whereby the leadership style changes with the changing situations, in today’s chaotic economy, with job cuts, pay cuts, recession, and inflation being the part and parcel of the corporate world.
