NEW DELHI: If more people seem locked for hours into their smartphones recently , that's probably because they are playing digital cricket or poker or making seemingly impossible leaps at exotic locations -made feasible by a data pricing war triggered by Reliance Jio<\/a>.\n\n\tFor several domestic companies in cluding Games2win (Turbo Cricket), Moonfrog Labs (Teen Patti Gold) and Nazara Games (Chhota Bheem Jungle Run), and international ones such as Imangi Studios (Temple Run), the number of gamers from India has at least doubled since December.\n\n\tMany of these companies credit the surge to Reliance<\/a> Jio, which launched in September offering free voice and 4G data connectivity for three months, as well as improved data infrastructure across the country .
\n\n\t“We have seen monthly active users go up from 5 million in December to about 12 million in May ,“ said Manish Agarwal, chief executive of Mumbai-based Nazara Games. “We have also earned within the first five months of 2017 close to 100% of the revenue we made in all of 2016 for our freemium play .“ About 52% of Nazara's gamers in April, May and June came via the Reliance Jio network, while Airtel<\/a> brought in 10% of its gamers and Idea and Vodafone<\/a> 7% and 6%, respectively , Agarwal said.
\n\n\tMumbai-based Games2win registe red a spike in monthly active users to 21million in May from 9 million in December, and Bengaluru-based Moonfrog, to 15 million from 6.5 million over that period. “We have already made more than 100% of last year's revenue,“ said Tanay Tayal, founder of Moonfrog Labs.
\n\n\tWith Jio winning over a large number of users, rival telecom operators, too, eventually began offering competitive rates on 4G data connectivity , thus encouraging more people to spend longer hours online on their phones. “The trend of high data usage by Jio subscribers is continuing and consumption is well-distributed across circles,“ said a spokesman for Reliance Jio in an emailed statement.“Jio's subscribers are embracing digital content including online gaming, cloud storage, education, news and music streaming.“ According to San Francisco-based research firm App Annie, India registered a massive increase in games downloaded from Apple's and Google<\/a>'s mobile store platforms between January and March.
\n\n\tTotal downloads of the top 10 games on the Google Play and Apple's iOS platforms increased to 24 million during the first quarter of 2017 from 18 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Total time spent surged to 2,120 million hours during the first quarter of 2017 from 1,630 million hours during the fourth quarter of 2016, according to App Annie.
\n\n\t“The share of 2017 revenue (so far) for Octro, Moonfrog, Nazara Games, Play Games24x7, Reliance Games versus their 2016 full-year revenues was over 80%. It's a certain sign the (Indian gaming) market is maturing,“ said a spokesman for App Annie.
\n\n\tFor US-based Imangi Studios, the developer of Temple Run 2, one of the most-downloaded games in the country , this surge in online mobile usage has contributed to India being a massive growth market.
\n\n\t“We have seen our daily downloads and daily players roughly double between December 2016 and May 2017,“ said cofounder Natalia Luckyanova.
\n\n\tDelhi-based Octro, popular for its card games, too, has already crossed its 2016 revenue. It attributed the growth in users and revenue to the availability of cheaper data plans and improved support for online payment options.
\n\n\t“We have seen better conversion rates to paying users and more users flowing into the funnel,“ said Saurabh Aggarwal, CEO of Octro, declining to share specific numbers. “We are probably 2-2.5 times our monthly active users if we compare May 2017 to December 2016.“
\n\n\tGaming startups Accel Partnersbacked MechMocha and KhelPlay Rummy are seeing several new gamers from smaller cities and towns.
