For Nazara, this solution enables the company to increase its user base, maintain higher engagement and gain long-term customer loyalty.

Manish Agarwal, CEO, Nazara Technologies Ltd said: “We are excited to kick off our global partnership with DT One. Our goal is to drive user engagement and acquisition and through DT One’s network and smart solutions we will be able to incentivise our customers with mobile airtime and data – helping to build our engagement, customer base and loyalty. We will first roll this out across Africa and then plan to expand globally and reach consumers across emerging markets.”

DT One EVP of APAC, Krishnadeep Baruah said “We’re thrilled to partner with Nazara to deliver our innovative mobile reward and incentives solution to their customers on a global scale. Through our network and mobile rewards solution, we are able to better connect Nazara with their gaming customers and reward them with mobile airtime.
