Says Mauj COO Arun Gupta, "I believe this is a treat for hardcore gamers in India. Mauj has always been at the forefront of innovation, incorporating the latest technologies. We decided to launch our games using Bluetooth as it is one of the most widely used mobile technologies worldwide. With this, mobile gaming in India has truly come of age. We will be introducing more such games in the coming months."

Mauj head of technology Ashay Padwal added, "Mobile games have recently emerged and the Indian market is ripe for introduction of Bluetooth-enabled multiplayer games. In any multiplayer game, the gamers play against Artificial Intelligence as compared to a Bluetooth where gamers go head to head against each other, hence the experience is far more engrossing and challenging."
