        </p>
        <p>
            Nostra's new formats include - 
            </p><ul class="un-ord">
                <li>
                    <span class="bold">'Live'</span> which enables live streaming from inside any game, driving game discovery, engagement and fosters learning and connections. Another elevated version of this format is <span class="bold">‘TurboLive’</span> which enables viewers to interact with live streamers in any game and influence gameplay, making it an immersive and interactive experience.  
                </li>
                <li>
                    <span class="bold">'Connect'</span> offers discussion forums to engage with players during the game. This feature not only fosters social connections, but also boosts engagement and retention towards a game.  
                </li>
                <li>
                    The newly added <span class="bold">'Esports Tournaments'</span> format allows gamers to compete against each other, transforming them into enthusiasts and advocates. This competitive element further enhances their interest and involvement in the gaming community.    
                </li>
                <li>
                    <span class="bold">'Updates'</span> creates curated experience zones for in-game updates such as gacha mechanisms, quests, and missions. This keeps the gamers re-engaged and excited about the evolving content of the games.  
            </li></ul>
        <p></p>

        <p>
            These new experiential gaming formats are aimed at boosting discovery of the games, resulting in intent-based installs and higher levels of engagement with the games. 
        </p>
        <p>
            <span class="italic">“With over 700 new games getting launched every day and 90% of users dropping out within thirty days of installing a game, discovery and retention are two of the biggest challenges faced by the developers today. Nostra has created a new paradigm of user networks and engagement, proving what is possible when games think outside of their native apps,” <span class="bold">said Yashashvi Takallapalli, Vice President &amp; General Manager, Nostra.</span>“The depth and breadth of our experiences are transforming casual gamers into fans of games, while our presence on the Glance smart lock screen, a surface that consumers interact with over 75 times a day, is giving developers a fresh and high frequency touch point to connect with new audiences at scale,” </span> <span class="bold">he added. </span>
        </p>
        <p>
            Nostra is available on <span class="bold">Glance</span>, one of the world’s leading smart lock screen platforms that provides personalized content recommendations and LIVE experiences to over <span class="bold">230 million active users</span> across India and Southeast Asia. By publishing games on Nostra, developers gain <span class="bold">instant access to Glance’s massive user base</span> in some of the world’s biggest gaming markets. This further leads to <span class="bold">higher engagement and retention, resulting in increased monetization</span> outside of their own apps and traditional distribution platforms where they typically host their games.         </p>
        <p>
            In addition to these new formats, game developers and studios also have access to Nostra’s diverse range of monetizable formats, providing them with the means to reach a vast user base without the need of any upfront investment. Further Nostra’s robust technology stack helps developers publish games on the platform quickly, allowing them to achieve impressive numbers of up to one lakh daily active users (DAUs) right from the Day 1 of release. Moreover, innovative use of AI-led personalization and data-backed engagement strategies ensures the longevity of games on the platform.         </p>
        <p>
            <span class="italic">“Despite having good feedback, great reviews, and ratings for most of our portfolio games, we were struggling to reach a wider audience, and our partnership with Nostra couldn’t have happened at a better time,” <span class="bold">said Mukesh Dev, CEO and Founder of Banzan Studios.</span> “Our first game on Nostra – Jungle Hop – has been a chart topper since launch, achieving 100 million gameplays in just three months and has therefore, been a major source of revenue for our studio right from the first month. This has been a huge boost for us, and we continue to build multiple snackable games for the platform.”  </span>
        </p>
      

        <p>
            <span class="bold">Said Krishna Mudiraj Nalla, CEO of TechnoSkulls,</span><span class="italic">“From the very beginning, TechnoSkulls has enjoyed a remarkable journey with Nostra. The platform’s presence on the lock screen offers a unique solution that has helped scale our reach significantly.” He further added, “Our partnership with Nostra has helped us grow two-fold in a short time period and has enabled us to surpass our annual goals much earlier than anticipated.” </span>
        </p>
        <p>
            Nostra has established partnerships with over 75 global game developers and has helped several of them achieve 10x reach within a year. As of December 2022, Nostra had over 75 million monthly active users and 25 million live streaming viewers every month. On an average, Nostra users spent 20 minutes daily playing games on the platform. 
        </p>
        <p>
            In the coming quarters, Nostra aims to expand its presence to several global markets including the USA, Japan, and Latin America, enabling developers to reach millions of new gamers across the world.  
        </p>

        <h2>Roposo and Shopify partner to revolutionise digital entrepreneurship in India  </h2>

        <p class="italic"> The partnership comes as a major boost for digital entrepreneurship; aims to fuel the creation of over 10,000 digital entrepreneurs in the country   </p>
       
        <p><span class="bold">Singapore/Bengaluru, July 10, 2023: Roposo,</span> India's leading creator-driven LIVE platform, has joined forces with global e-commerce giant <span class="bold">Shopify</span> to usher in a new era for digital entrepreneurship in India. This strategic partnership looks to empower over 10,000 digital entrepreneurs to launch and scale their businesses by providing comprehensive support through their entire business journey. This includes assistance with setting up online stores, product sourcing, order fulfilment and payments.   </p>

        <p>
            Roposo’s model offers digital entrepreneurs, creators, and dropshippers the unique advantage of operating without the need for inventory maintenance or manufacturing. However, the challenges associated with managing backend workflows, such as product sourcing, sales support and returns, continue to hinder the scalable growth of digital entrepreneurship in India. <span class="bold">Roposo</span> addresses these challenges through its recently introduced platform <span class="bold">Roposo Clout</span> which provides solutions that help simplify and streamline the management of their online businesses. 
        </p>
        <p>
            Roposo and Shopify share a common vision of accelerating the growth of digital entrepreneurship in India. As a result of this partnership, entrepreneurs will get an end-to-end, easy-to-use business solution. With Shopify, they can create their own online stores on Shopify's platform within minutes. They can then integrate the Roposo Clout plugin on their Shopify profile to instantly start selling and generating income. 
        </p>

        <p>
           With Roposo Clout, any digital entrepreneur can simplify their business management by outsourcing warehouse and inventory management, including tasks like product sourcing, order fulfilment, logistics, and doorstep payment collection. This frees up capital, allowing these entrepreneurs to invest more efficiently in branding, marketing, and nurturing customer relationships. With Roposo Clout's same-day payment processing and industry-leading delivery rates, these entrepreneurs also benefit from shorter cash cycles, enabling them to allocate more resources for business expansion. 
        </p>
        <p>
        Roposo Clout also offers a unique advantage in identifying and sourcing trending products from global markets. Digital entrepreneurs can capitalize on these trends to stay ahead of the competition by launching top-selling products in their customer networks. Additionally, they can establish and launch their own direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands, unlocking long-term growth potential. 
        </p>
        <p>
            <span class="bold">Mansi Jain, Senior Vice President &amp; General Manager of Roposo, </span>said, <span class="italic">"Roposo is building the largest 'LIVE' platform, where consumers always stay on top of what is trending and latest in the world of shopping and entertainment. Our aim is to empower digital entrepreneurs to leverage this new ecosystem of LIVE for the next leapfrog in e-commerce. The partnership between Roposo and Shopify will further fuel the growth of digital entrepreneurship and dropshipping industry in India as we embark on a mission to help in the creation of over 10,000 online businesses in the country."</span>
        </p>
        <p>
            <span class="bold">Said Bharati Balakrishnan, Country Head &amp; Director of Shopify India &amp; SEA:  </span><span class="italic">"Our mission is to simplify the operations and management of digital retail businesses. The collaboration between Shopify and Roposo Clout will provide ambitious entrepreneurs on the Shopify platform with a comprehensive solution to participate in the high-growth Indian eCommerce and retail story. We are confident that this partnership will boost the overall growth of the digital entrepreneurship ecosystem in India."</span>
        </p>
        <p>
           To enhance digital entrepreneurship and provide valuable insights, Roposo and Shopify have teamed up with renowned influencer  <span class="bold">Ritoban Chakrabarti</span>. Through his popular video series  <span class="bold">Bizathon</span>, Chakrabarti will demystify the intricacies of dropshipping, making it more accessible to a broader audience. 
        </p>

        <p>
            <span class="italic">"Digital entrepreneurship via creator economy and dropshipping has emerged as a significant entrepreneurial opportunity globally and has gained momentum in India in recent years. However, it still lacks widespread understanding, which hinders many from tapping into its potential. I am excited to collaborate with Roposo and Shopify to demystify this way of selling, and make it more accessible to a wider audience, opening doors for numerous aspiring entrepreneurs,”</span> said <span class="bold">Chakrabarti.</span>
        </p>

            Glance, has <span class="bold">more than doubled its active user base </span> in three quarters, revealed
            the <span class="bold">Glance Gaming Trends
                Report, 2022 </span>. The report stated that the number of monthly active users on the platform
            increased by 116%,
            from 30 million in the beginning of January 2022 to 65 million as on 31st October 2022, making it one of the
            biggest and wide-reaching gaming and game streaming destinations in the country. The growth has been driven
            largely by the <span class="bold">adoption of gaming amongst increasingly diverse demographic sets,</span>
            the report found. </p>
        <p>
            <span class="bold">Women accounted for close to 47%</span>of Glance Gaming’s user base, while <span class="bold"> non-metro
                consumers formed 73% </span>of the
            same. This indicates that the market for gaming is rapidly expanding across the length and breadth of the

            the platform, with
            interest in gaming and game streaming coming from a wide age spectrum. Older generations have shown a
            greater inclination towards playing casual games – 27% users in the 45-54 and 19% in the 55+ age groups are
            engaging with this game category. Users in the age group of 18-24, on the other hand, showed a strong

            more accessible to a wide audience. This <span class="bold">ease of discovery</span> has been a major reason
            for adoption of gaming by
            diverse groups on Glance Gaming. The ability to play these games <span class="bold">without downloading
