But now Reliance Big Entertainment has sent word that they have launched Jump Games USA as they get ready to enter the mobile content market in the United States.
Rajesh Sawhney is the president of Reliance Big Entertainment. He quoted, "We are keen on building a global enterprise that leverages the top entertainment content across the globe. Our recent deals in the entertainment space convey our focus and commitment towards building global entertainment equity."

To ensure the future of our success, our partnership and alliances with America's biggest firms will be critical. The idea is to expand the mobile entertainment umbrella for Jump in the mobile space, via strong and sustained growth, both organic as well as inorganic."
Salil Bhargava is the chief executive officer of Jump Games. He says, "The launch of Jump Games USA and the opening of our new office is an important step in strengthening our ability to acquire and deliver exciting mainstream mobile content to U.S. consumers.
