NEW DELHI: Hoppr & Tiny Mogul Games (TMG) have been integrated under the Internet company Hike Messenger.

In the last year itself, Tiny Mogul Games amassed five million downloads including hit games like Shiva: The Time Bender, the first Indian game to be featured by Google Play globally.

With the integration, Hike will bring quality gaming to the platform, with the aim of building it into a service that goes beyond simple messaging.

In addition to games, the integration will bring coupons from a host of 200 brands to Hike.

Hike Messenger founder and CEO Kavin Bharti Mittal said, “We’re excited to take a big leap forward in our mission to bring India online as we bring everything under the Hike brand. From Day 1, we’ve believed that messaging will be a gateway to the internet for the masses in India and this move reflects just that.”

He added, “By the end of the year we’ll truly see Hike, India’s first messaging application emerge as the platform that will bring India online in a big way. We’re just getting started.”

According to the Ericsson Mobility and Quettra report, Hike is the biggest made in India app by active usage. The messenger is India’s first and only home grown messaging app and is extremely localized to the needs of the Indian market with over 35 million users sending 10 billion messages per month.

Hoppr was launched in 2012 as a location based check-in service that works across all mobile devices, with the aim to build the hyper local commerce ecosystem in India, wherein consumers get to explore rewards and offers available with brands and merchants in their vicinity.

On the other hand, Tiny Mogul Games was set up in 2013 and has been operational for over two years and launched more than twelve games for Android.
