Announcing the launch, Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Idea Cellular says, “According to a Nasscom survey, around 40-50 million Indians play games on their smartphones, and this number is expected to grow by 50% annually. With the rapid rollout of our 4G services and increased penetration of smartphones in the country, we are providing our customers an array of rich digital services to meet their demand for engaging apps and content, and Idea Games Club is one such proposition.”
“Idea Games Club is the most affordable and convenient way to purchase paid games. The flat subscription-fee model – payable through operators’ billing systems – will save consumers a lot of money and effort compared to buying apps one by one from the traditional app store,” says Sunil Kamath, Vice President for South Asia & Southeast Asia.
