Indian Virtual Worlds and MMORPGs – GoJiyo, Chimpoo, Online Tales…

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

The Indian virtual worlds and MMOGs ( Massively Multiplayer Online Games) market is starting to look up. VWs and MMOGs have been launched in the recent months to address all ends of the market. From Chimpoo a flash based kids world to the recent announcement of Online Tales an Indian MMOG by Swadesh Animation and RZ2 games. Godrej launched GoJiyo during the IPL Season and has been consistently promoting the Online Social Virtual World across media platforms.

We believe, these are very interesting times for the industry as the gaming and interactive content business is about to explode in India. A couple of interesting trends are accelerating the demand for online multi-user environments in India ( besides the over-arching reason that the recession is receding and more money is available for such investments) :

  1. The projected growth of PCs, Netbooks and other Internet Enabled Devices in India in the next 2-3 years.
  2. The push by telcos to spread Broadband to Tier 1 and 2 cities in India. As also, the improving speeds and reliability of the networks.

Some general global trends like better standard graphics hardware, proliferation of social networks and casual games and general awareness about interactive content on the Internet are contributing factors.

Globally we feel handheld ( mobile, internet enabled) devices like the iPad will revolutionize the interactive media industry in the next few years.

Indusgeeks is poised to launch a few products, for the Enterprise Virtual Worlds sector, in the next few months under its flagship Enterprise brand Metamersive™.

Key takeaway from the post – get ready for an onslaught of interactive media across delivery platforms like you have never seen before!

The ThinkBalm Innovation Community is run by industry analysts Erica Driver and Sam Driver of ThinkBalm. Since its launch in August of 2008, the community has evolved into a mix between a social network, collaborative laboratory, and guild.

The community has held dozens of immersive and in-person events including brainstorming sessions, role-playing sessions, “un-lectures” (four presentations, tours, or demos in an hour), tours, meet-and-greets, and professional networking events.

Indusgeeks is a Gold Solution Provider for Second Life

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Good news from the Virtual Worlds!

Indusgeeks has been chosen as a Gold Service Provider by Linden Lab for the Second Life Grid. This makes Indusgeeks only one of  two  companies  in the entire Asia Pacific Region ( the other one being a Japanese firm) to be represented in this accredited category.

This is an extract from the Linden Blog : ” The Gold Solution Provider Program is the first of its kind in the virtual worlds industry, reflecting the strength, longevity, and unique ability for users to create and own their content on the Second Life platform. The new Gold Program identifies exceptionally qualified Solution Providers with a high level of client satisfaction, a track record of developing successful Second Life projects, and demonstrated expertise working with real world organizations. Today, we are inducting 31 Gold Solution Providers into the program who comes from the United States, Europe and Asia (full list of members below). They have business backgrounds in areas ranging from design and web development to marketing agencies and training, and have developed projects for multinational corporations, educational institutions, government agencies, and non-profits”.

This marks a major milestone for us as a company and establishes our strong partnership with the major players in this space like Intel, Sun and now Linden Lab.

Indusgeeks is actively pursuing newer applications and services on Virtual World platforms such as Second Life and this marks a first of its kind recognition for a company in this space in India.
