“We want our games to exist in places where you’re already talking to your friends and interacting socially. That means being on platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp, and being just one tap away from joining a session or a tournament. They can just tap a link and play against my score,” Jones told MoneyControl in an exclusive interaction.
“We were highly impressed with what Oliver and Abhas have been able to achieve, and they are definitely one of the most experienced gaming entrepreneurs in the country today. We are very excited about how they are disrupting the casual gaming industry with their hyper-social model and are delighted to partner with them in this journey,” said Kalaari Capital MD Vani Kola.
