Denmark Based Startup Gametation Sets Up Operations in India
They attribute the following reason behind their move, "Through our frequent travels to India as tourists and later through business, we have always been fascinated by the curious Indian mentality to try out new stuff and fascination for games. And couple that with a rapid smart phone adaptation and I believe we have a good chance of success in this market." Inspite of this, as a foreigner, understanding the Indian psyche is very difficult to which Anders agrees. "This makes it important for us to have a man on the ground who has that knowledge and understands how to help us adopt to this difference." And to strengthen this support, Gametation has partnered with Lionpartner - a company in Mumbai that has roots in Denmark and India. Lionpartner will provide Gametation with key metrics on adaptation of smart phones, media agency density, potential customers etc. Jacob Risgaard Knudsen takes care of operation in India
