Game on with one hand courtesy new smartphone app

Kolkata, Jan 10: You don’t need both hands to game on: Plug into Gamezop, a new casual gaming app that lets you tinker around with the latest intertiol games on your smartphone, say its developers. Start-up app Gamezop acts as a one-stop destition for games and will represent India in the semi-fils of Intertiol Business Model Competition 2016 to be held at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington, the US.

IIT-Kharagpur’s Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) on Saturday announced the winners of Empresario 2016, the annual global business model competition presented with IBM. The Delhi-based start-up won a fully sponsored trip to participate directly in the semi-fil round of the global contest scheduled on April 29 and April 30.

Gamezop is a game aggregator that lets users choose from 350 games that can be played with a single hand, said Gaurav Agarwal, co-founder at Gamezop. “If you are travelling in the Metro and have one hand free, you could keep yourself engaged with the Android app. It is a host app that aggregates games from across the world particularly from Europe. Players can even get offline access to the games,” Agarwal told IANS at the award announcement. In business for seven months, the start-up aims to scale up to at least 1,000 games. (IANS)
