These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Nvidia captures a steady but modest share of the Indian gaming market, benefiting from low operational costs through cloud infrastructure.
Rapid user adoption surpasses expectations, leading to 500,000+ annual subscribers as the gaming community embraces cloud solutions.
Competition from local players or issues with service adoption could hinder subscriber growth, resulting in less than 150,000 users by year-end.
