One of India's premier telecom companies Vodafone Idea (Vi), has announced the launch of Vi Games, a new gaming segment on the Vi app. This new development is happening through Vi's partnership with Nazara Technologies.

"Gaming is not only the future of entertainment in India but already a key mode of entertainment for hundreds of millions of Indians playing games on their mobile phones every day.
