Octro builds mobile multiplayer versions of culturally popular offline games, including Indian Rummy, Tambola, Teen Patti, Sweep Card Game and Multiplayer Hearts. The company shifted from productivity apps (it previously built a mobile VoIP app called OctroTalk) to focus on mobilizing locally popular games. Octro’s titles rank among the top five games in multiple categories on Google Play in India. Its product strategy emphasizes adapting tried-and-tested traditional games for the fast-growing smartphone market rather than creating new IP. The company leverages multiplayer social mechanics familiar to its local audience to drive engagement. Octro was founded in 2006 and operates in the Indian mobile gaming market.
