“As Chairman and CEO of an Indian company, I am very excited to bring part of our gaming operations in Montreal. Our investment in rob0 is strategic and has a lot of synergies with our future plans. Montreal being a hotbed for AI and gaming, I strongly believe that we will be able to attract some of the best talents in the industry.”, said François-Charles Sirois, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, OnMobile Global Limited.
This investment is in line with OnMobile’s strategy to become a leader in the mobile gaming market. In addition to its current subscription-based offering of unlimited games, available to more than 50 carriers in over 30 countries, OnMobile is currently developing innovative gaming products that blend 5G streaming, social gaming, e-sports, and AI.
With its Plug & Play SaaS, rob0’s AI-powered visual retention technology allows game developers to detect the exact moment in gameplay where users stop playing, saving them hundreds of hours of observation time and minimizing significantly their go-to-market risks.
The addition of rob0 will allow to leverage the vast gaming expertise of the rob0 team, which brings several years of experience in the industry, having played key roles for some of the most prominent games behemoths like Electronic Arts, Gameloft and Twitch.
