About Us

Games 24x7 is the first online company to bring games of skill with cash prizes to the large, yet under-served Indian market in a fun, lighthearted and friendly setting. India's rich history and culture of games and the rapid growth of the Internet has presented us with a unique opportunity - the opportunity to bring to people across India games they have always loved and enjoyed, but don- t necessarily find the time or the friends to play with anymore. Competition, the joy of success and social connectivity form the backbone of our product. We kicked off this ambitious journey in 2009 with India's most popular card game - Rummy. Today, we are India's largest mobile and online games business. RummyCircle, our skill games division, operates RummyCircle, India's highest grossing mobile and online game. Ultimate Games, our freemium mobile games division, already operates 4 games with it's first game Ultimate Teen Patti being the top grossing card game on Google Play. We are funded by Tiger Global, a New York based investment firm that has made significant investments in some of the most successful Internet companies in India.

The Games 24x7 Ethos

At Games24x7 we are passionate about one and only one thing- providing the best possible playing experience to our players. We take immense pride in our work and believe that the best way to serve our players is by listening to them. We listen to the sound of every click that our players make or don- t make when they are with us. We believe very strongly in experimenting, but in the true spirit of experiments, we insist that every new idea be either backed by data or be eventually provable by data.

Every experiment has at its genesis an idea. The Games 24x7 idea hierarchy is flat and new ideas can come from anywhere, but every idea goes through the same process - vigorous debate, arguments, data validation, and every so often, from this grueling yet immensely satisfying process comes one addition to our product, operating or marketing strategy. This is the essence of life at Games 24x7.

The Games24x7 Vision

With smart phone users expected to cross 500 million by 2018 the rummy industry in India will grow 10 fold and the relatively more nascent freemium games industry will grow 70-100 fold. Our goal is to lead the growth of the rummy industry and continue to hold the dominant leadership position we hold today with RummyCircle. At the same time, capitalizing on the very strengths that helped us build RummyCircle into India's largest mobile and online game, we will build Ultimate Games into the dominant leader in the freemium mobile games industry.
