            Glance, has <span class="bold">more than doubled its active user base </span> in three quarters, revealed
            the <span class="bold">Glance Gaming Trends
                Report, 2022 </span>. The report stated that the number of monthly active users on the platform
            increased by 116%,
            from 30 million in the beginning of January 2022 to 65 million as on 31st October 2022, making it one of the
            biggest and wide-reaching gaming and game streaming destinations in the country. The growth has been driven
            largely by the <span class="bold">adoption of gaming amongst increasingly diverse demographic sets,</span>
            the report found. </p>
        <p>
            <span class="bold">Women accounted for close to 47%</span>of Glance Gaming’s user base, while <span class="bold"> non-metro
                consumers formed 73% </span>of the
            same. This indicates that the market for gaming is rapidly expanding across the length and breadth of the
            country, and across multiple demographics. Gaming has also <span class="bold">broken age barriers </span> on
            the platform, with
            interest in gaming and game streaming coming from a wide age spectrum. Older generations have shown a
            greater inclination towards playing casual games – 27% users in the 45-54 and 19% in the 55+ age groups are
            engaging with this game category. Users in the age group of 18-24, on the other hand, showed a strong

            streams among others directly on the lock screen of Android smartphones. By doing so, it makes gaming far
            more accessible to a wide audience. This <span class="bold">ease of discovery</span> has been a major reason
            for adoption of gaming by
            diverse groups on Glance Gaming. The ability to play these games <span class="bold">without downloading
            </span> them, has also been a

                <span class="bold">Bangalore/ Singapore, April 11, 2022: </span>
                Consumer internet company Glance, today announced the launch of Glance TV - a live, interactive content
                platform for the home screen or ‘screen zero’ of Android smart TVs. With live content and real-time
                on-screen interactions for users, Glance TV is aiming to completely transform the way people experience
                television.
            </p>
            <p>
                Television viewing so far has been a passive way to spend time, with no way for viewers to express their
                reactions or interact with the content. In a world consumed by social media, television has remained at
                best a family experience due to absence of social capabilities.  Glance TV with its programming,
                personalization and strong social elements helps users break out of this passive, limited and isolated
                viewing experience, and become a part of the shows they watch.  
            </p><p>
            </p>
            <p>
                Glance TV users can interact directly in real-time with their favourite stars on their television home
                screens. They can attend personalised fitness training sessions, watch interactive cooking shows with
                celebrity chefs, or enjoy sports in community watch-alongs that replicate immersive, stadium-like
                atmospheres. Within shows, users can interact and shape the direction of the content through live
                comments, reactions and polls. Using QR codes on live TV, users can buy tickets for movies and events,
                shop live, and even get their social media posts featured on Glance TV streams.
            </p>
            <p>
                Glance TV will offer off-beat, personalised snackable content of 5-20 minutes duration, across
                categories such as sports, entertainment, infotainment, e-sports, current affairs, lifestyle, food and
                fitness, unlike standardized long form TV shows. It has partnered with major content providers that
                include Zee5, Epic On and Docubay to provide users fresh, personalized and premium content every day.
            </p>
            <p>
                The launch of Glance TV is a major milestone for Glance, which has revolutionised content consumption on
                smart phones by bringing LIVE, interactive content to mobile lock screen. Launched in 2019, Glance is
                now one of the world’s largest mobile lock screen platforms with over 200 million active users.
            </p>
            <p class="italic">
                “Glance has reimagined the lock screen of smartphones into a live screen for personalised, LIVE content.
                With Glance TV, we want to redefine television experiences just as we did with smartphones. This is TV
                in a way that has never been seen before and is a true innovation that extends the LIVE experience that
                Glance delivers on lock screens to television home screens,” <span class="bold"> said Piyush Shah,
                    Co-founder of InMobi Group and President &amp; COO of Glance. </span>
            </p>
            <p class="italic">
                “With Glance TV, our intention is to remove the age-old connotation of TV being an idle way to pass time
                and change the perception of TV as the ‘idiot box’. Glance TV gives users experiences where they can be
                active while watching TV and can express themselves directly on the big screen, within virtual
                communities of fellow users,” <span class="bold"> said Manish Gupta, Senior Vice President and GM,
                    Glance. </span>

            </p>

            <p>
                Glance TV aims to be present on approximately 30% of all smart TVs in India soon. The company plans to
                make Glance TV available globally and also intends to develop the same for other smart TV operating
                systems.

      <p>
        <span class="bold">Singapore/ Mumbai, April 7, 2022: </span>
        Actor and celebrity Rana Daggubati and India’s leading creator-led LIVE entertainment commerce platform Roposo today announced the launch of their co-created men’s grooming brand DCRAF.      </p>
      <p>
        This launch is the latest in the line of celebrity-led original labels to be launched by Roposo through Glance Collective - a joint venture between Roposo’s parent company Glance and talent management firm Collective Artists Network. In November 2021, they had jointly launched their first co-created brand ‘EK’ with Ekta Kapoor, in the home and wellness category. Roposo is looking at co-creating around 100 such celebrity and creator-led brands across multiple segments, with the intention of fueling the creator economy through multiple entrepreneurial opportunities.        </p>
      <p>
        DCRAF is derived from ‘D’ for Daggubati, and ‘Craf’ - a colloquial short form of the English expression ‘Hair Craft’ - popularly associated with men’s grooming in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It will cater to millennial and Gen-Z men in tier-I and tier-II markets. The brand has grooming products for face, beard and skincare categories. DCRAF believes that grooming and taking care of oneself should not be tedious. By overly complicating grooming rituals, most brands tend to alienate consumers and deter men from experiencing the joy that comes with looking and feeling good. DCRAF aims to simplify grooming through well-designed products and communication that "keep things simple".         </p>
      <p>
        DCRAF prides itself on being an Indian brand with inclusivity as its core philosophy. For instance, it uses fun, creative adaptations of Indian faces from across the country and various regional scripts in its branding as a celebration of India’s diversity. The brand also plans to launch a unique reality show, LIVE and exclusive on Roposo and Glance, to find a user who will be the next face of DCRAF. The winner will be featured on the uber-cool DCRAF packaging and will join Rana in representing the brand.      </p>
      <p class="italic">
        “I have been conceptualizing a simplified men’s grooming brand for quite some time now. With Roposo enabling the co-creation of celebrity-led brands, it became possible to take this concept to the market at such a large scale, very quickly,”  <span class="bold"> said Rana Daggubati.</span> “I believe that men neglect skincare and grooming because it seems overly complex to them. With DCRAF, my aim is to make ‘looking good’ simple for men through trustworthy, effective products. I’m happy to have found a partner like Roposo to make DCRAF a reality,” he added.         
     </p>
      <p class="italic">
        <span class="bold">
          
            Mansi Jain, Vice President and General Manager, Roposo  </span> said, “Our intention has been to partner with celebrities and creators to launch brands that reflect their unique persona and become an extension of who they are.” Jain added, “Rana is one of the most fashionable contemporary male celebrities and is followed by many for his sense of style and grooming. We are delighted to be partnering with him to launch DCRAF. With the live commerce technology and the scale of our platforms, we expect DCRAF to be discovered by millions of users across India.”
      </p>

      <p>
        The men’s grooming market has been growing rapidly in India and is one of the major focus areas for live commerce on Glance and Roposo. According to market estimates, the industry is expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 11%. Fashion and beauty, which includes men’s grooming, is the top-performing category on Roposo, and 50% of its total live commerce creators belong to it. The platform expects the launch of DCRAF to further accelerate growth in this segment.         
      </p>
      
      <p>
        <span class="bold"> Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and Group CEO, Collective Artists Network said, </span> 
        <span class="italic">"Co-creating this brand with Rana has been exciting and we can’t wait for this vision to come to life. The brand exemplifies the aura and philosophy of Rana Daggubati in every way. We believe DCRAF’s ethos of simplicity will connect deeply with consumers and create impact.”   </span>
     </p>

        Consumers can discover the DCRAF product range via Roposo (active user base of around 30 million) and lock screen platform Glance (active user base of 173 million).

        <span class="bold">Singapore/ Bangalore, March 25, 2022: </span>
    Singapore based consumer internet company Glance InMobi Pte Ltd (“Glance”), announced that it has acquired Indian gaming company Gambit Sports Pvt Ltd. (“Gambit”). This is expected to accelerate Glance’s ambition of building the biggest platform for NFT-based live gaming experiences for Gen-Z, across markets. 
      </p>
      <p>
      The acquisition brings together Glance’s scale and lock screen centric innovation with Gambit’s expertise and understanding of the gaming ecosystem. Glance Games - Glance’s lock screen gaming platform - has over 45 million monthly active users across Asia. Close to 70% of its users are in the age group of 18 to 34, while over 40% of its gamers are female. 
      </p>
      <p>
Gambit comes with a team that has deep experience in building platforms with high engagement and monetization. Co-founded in 2015 by Yashashvi Takallapalli, Gaurav Konar, Ranaveer Sankieneni and Deepak Venkatramani, Gambit owns and operates Nostragamus (Nostra Pro). This is a highly popular gaming platform with fantasy sports, poker, rummy, quiz and hyper-casual games. Over 100 million games have been played on the Nostragamus platform, and it has close to 10 million registered users. 
      </p>
      <p>
Glance will leverage Gambit’s expertise to launch highly engaging live gaming experiences including tournaments, game shows, game streaming and multi-player games on lock screen. Gambit will also enable Glance to launch multiple casual-to-midcore games that can be enjoyed by diverse sets of gamers. In the coming quarters, Glance also plans to launch NFTs in live gaming. This will potentially enable creators, streamers and developers to monetize through assets and NFT-based game creation, while giving gamers unique experiences that they love.  
      </p>
      <p>
“Gaming is the most exciting content category across the world today and Gen-Z spends more time on gaming than on any other activity online,"  <span class="bold">said Piyush Shah, Co-founder of InMobi Group and President and COO, Glance. </span>"Giving users live, connected, interactive gaming experiences on the lock screen is key to Glance’s vision of building the world’s largest live internet platform. We also aim to launch creator-led NFTs for live gaming which will generate unique 'play-to-earn' and 'play-to-own' possibilities for the entire gaming ecosystem,”  <span class="bold">he added.  </span>
      </p>
      <p>
        <span class="bold">
          
        Said Yashashvi Takallapalli, Co-founder and CEO, Gambit, </span>“We have already started seeing great traction for live gaming on Glance. For instance, over 10 million users watch live game streams on Glance every week now. With Glance and Gambit’s combined strengths and our belief that there is a game for every person, we envision doubling the number of monthly active gamers on Glance Games in the next year.” 
      </p>

      In February 2022, Glance had signed an agreement to raise $200 million funding from Jio Platforms to accelerate its global expansion. The company also entered into a business partnership with Jio through which Glance’s lock screen platform will be integrated into JioPhone Next smartphones.

                <b>Singapore/Bangalore, 13th October 2021</b>: With an intent to disrupt the mobile and online commerce space, Roposo today announced that it is launching India’s first digital destination for ‘creator-led, live entertainment commerce’. Roposo’s new offering will enable consumers to shop for top-notch products in real time with some of their most loved creators, while taking part in entertaining, contemporary pop-culture, within a live, ‘virtual mall’ environment. The move gives Roposo the potential to not just redefine the way India shops, but also to power the country’s creator economy, through multiple entrepreneurial opportunities for thousands of creators, at a large scale.   
            </p>
            <p>
                Shoppers on the Roposo platform will now be able to discover products recommended by creators in highly entertaining, exciting, action-packed live streams, visit hundreds of creator-led pop stores, and get up close and personal with some of their favourite stars. While they will be spoilt for shopping choices in fashion &amp; beauty, health &amp; fitness, electronics, home décor, lifestyle, and more, they can simultaneously attend live events by some of Gen-Z's favourite creators. To offer users, creators and entertainers real-world authenticity and connectedness, Roposo will enable multiple features for social interactions on both sides of the screen in its live streams.   
            </p>
            <p class="italic">
                “Our intent is to build the largest platform for creator-led live shopping in India, and take it to Southeast Asia and USA, in the coming quarters. There is a rising global demand for immersive shopping experiences that closely replicate the offline world, online. As we have seen in other markets, live streaming commerce, conducted by talented creators, is becoming a successful way to meet that demand. With Roposo’s popularity amongst creators, the scale and LIVE stack of Glance, and the e-commerce infrastructure of Shop101, we are well poised to take this new Roposo experience out in a big way,” <b>said Piyush Shah, Co-founder of InMobi Group and President &amp; COO of Glance.</b>

                For its creators, Roposo will endeavour to integrate a wide range of monetisation levers on the platform. Besides creating live experiences, creators can also run their own multi-brand pop stores on Roposo, which empowers them with not just a potentially lucrative business model but also a way to establish their unique identity, at scale. With opportunities to go live on Glance lock screen as well, these creators can potentially have access to Glance’s massive user base of over 150 million in India alone. Going forward, creators can have the opportunity to monetise their expertise by conducting paid masterclasses, and through ticketed live shows such as music concerts, stand-up comedy, talk shows, fashion shows, and more.  
            </p>
            <p class="italic">
                “While we have several big celebrities, the real hero for Roposo will be creators; be it the young fashion designer from Mangalore who wants to live stream her collection on Roposo and sell nationwide on her own pop store, or the indie rapper from Punjab who wants to reach millions through a ticketed concert. We intend to be the platform of choice for enterprising creators, who are not only great entertainers, but are experts in their domain, have authentic connections with their audience, and are skilled at influencing buying decisions,” <b>said Mansi Jain, Vice President &amp; General Manager, Roposo.  </b>

The JV company, Glance Collective, will co-create and operate multiple unique brands in partnership with some of India’s biggest digital creators, which include top celebrities and social media influencers.</p>
            <p>This is a first of its kind strategic alliance in India, where a global content, creator and commerce platform has partnered with a leading talent management network. The JV combines Glance and Roposo’s technology and global reach with Collective Artists Networks’ deep understanding of the celebrity and influencer world. This new entity will generate massive scope for creators to earn revenue through part ownership of the brands, while also giving them access to global markets, through Glance and Roposo’s combined worldwide user base.</p>
            <p>“Glance Collective is a synergy of strengths. It will give creators entrepreneurial opportunities at a large scale in producing successful consumer brands. We are creating a unique ecosystem for creator-led, discovery-based LIVE commerce, and are confident that our partnership with Collective will make us leaders in this rapidly growing market,” said Piyush Shah, Co-founder of InMobi, and President and COO of Glance.</p>
            <p>Even though it is still at a nascent stage in India, creator-led, interactive and LIVE commerce is expected to become a $40 billion opportunity in the country by 2025. This format has already seen tremendous success in China where it now accounts for around 20% of the country’s total e-commerce market. Glance Collective will leverage this emerging mode of shopping to drive sales of its brands, primarily on the Glance lock screen and the Roposo app. The products will span across segments such as lifestyle, home, fashion, apparel, beauty, and fitness, amongst others.</p>
            <p>The truly empowering aspect of Glance Collective is that it will enable creators to launch, scale and co-own brands that reflect their unique persona.

It will be a legitimate house of influencer brands, with the potential to bolster the monetization strength of the influencer economy and pop culture via commerce,” said Vijay Subramaniam, Group CEO and Co-Founder at Collective Artists Network. “Our joint value proposition will effectively benefit both the end consumer and an ever-growing community of influencers," Subramaniam added.</p>

The robust end-to-end supply chain and technology platform gained through this acquisition will be leveraged for operational support to Glance Collective.</p>
            <p>Mansi Jain, General Manager, Roposo and Commerce at Glance said, “There are hundreds of creators who have a large following, but do not have the resources to launch their own brands. Glance Collective will enable such creators to build labels that reflect their identity. There is no platform in the country that is currently doing this at such a scale.”</p>
            <p>Collective Artists Network has over 70% share in the talent management market.

            <p>This model has seen huge success in China accounting for over 20% of the total e-commerce sales. Even though it is still in an early phase in India now, the total addressable market for LIVE and Interactive Commerce in the country is expected to surpass $40 billion by 2025. According to a recent report by leading management and strategy consulting firm Zinnov, Glance has the potential to be among India’s largest video-first, LIVE, social, and interactive commerce platforms.</p>
