I admit, sometimes our mailboxes are flooded. One of the things we accidentally skipped is Jump Games' entry to the US mobile gaming market space through Reliance.

"We are keen on building a global enterprise that leverages the top entertainment content across the globe," said Rajesh Sawhney, President of Reliance Big Entertainment."Our recent deals in the entertainment space convey our focus and commitment towards building global entertainment equity.
