Mumbai: Zapped Technologies has announced the launch of its app Pocket Cinema which offers a gaming platform that allows users to watch OTT content of their choice and play a simple skill based game around it to win rewards. The app is being touted as a novel concept in the world of gaming and entertainment, denoted by a new name #GOTT – a combination of gaming and OTT.

Pocket Cinema is a simple, skill based gaming platform targeted primarily at tier 2-3 cities where people aspire to earn money, online but they either don’t know how to, or do not possess the necessary skills for it. The app aims to make gaming technology inclusive and accessible, said the statement. Currently available on android phones, it will shortly be released for iOS, it added.

According to Pocket Cinema founder duo and co-CEOs Anshuman Singh and Anil Verma the options available online, by virtue of being either too complex or high-end and intimidating, alienate a major chunk of the population from tier 2-3 cities. "Pocket Cinema caters majorly to tier 2 and 3 town consumers, and offers a unique easy-to- play game coupled with entertainment. At present, the content is available in Hindi and Bhojpuri. Marathi, and Punjabi and South Indian Languages will follow soon,” they said.
