India’s mobile internet market is huge 🚀

  • India today has 500M+ 4G Users
  • The avg data consumption is 14+ GB
  • Data is incredibly cheap at $0.1 / GB
  • Smartphones are incredibly powerful even at all price points (dual-core CPUs and powerful GPUs too)

Today, India’s youth is online 24/7 and they have supercomputers in their pockets. Very different from how we grew up. Many of us remember the IBM 66 MHz PC (the one with the turbo button), with MS-DOS. Those were the days Prince of Persia, Wolfenstein 3D — those who know, know 😃. Then came dial-up internet and Netscape and the world is now where it is today.

Today, India’s youth are connected all day and are incredibly time rich. They are hungry for new kinds of entertainment and services and the world online is their oyster.

The Rush Gaming Universe

At Hike, we’re building the Rush Gaming Universe (RGU) where players can battle it out in India’s most popular casual games and use their skills to Play, Compete, Win.

The RGU is built around 3 pillars.

You can download Rush for Android here, iOS here. You can find a video of gameplay here.

Metrics

With over 12M game plays and almost 100M transactions per month, we’re now the fastest growing gaming platform in India 🚀

Web 3 & Blockchain

Our community is at the center of everything we do. The blockchain introduces a monumental paradigm shift in the way we can think about building products & communities. Through the power of smart contracts, we can now give players the opportunity to play games and generate digital assets based on the outcome of gameplay.

We’re entering a new era of gaming, one where players will participate in a new kind of game economy where they are also owners of the networks and economies they help create.

Gaming to us has always been bite-sized entertainment and now it can also be a means to provide brand new economic opportunities to the world (rush.network)

$ Raised

We’ve raised capital from some of the world’s most iconic product builders & investors.
