Why student gaming needs its own platform
Generic esports apps don't know what a hostel is. Discord doesn't run brackets. Taddlebox was built campus-first, with hostel rivalry, fest seasons and verified student identity baked in.

Student gaming in India lives in fragmented WhatsApp groups, Discord servers nobody mods and one-off college tournaments that die after finals. There is no home.
Taddlebox is that home. Every hostel can run a tournament. Every campus can field a team. Every player has a verified profile, a live ranking and a real path to earning drops, scholarships and recognition.
From casual pong nights to multi-college BGMI seasons, Taddlebox runs the full student gaming stack — discovery, brackets, leaderboards, payouts, recap.
