Indian wireless network provider Telkomsel has established a joint venture with Aplikasi Multimedia Anak Bangsa (AMAB) to create Majamoto, which will develop and market mobile games for the Southeast Asian market. Telkomsel explained the Games Karya Nusantara venture will build on an ongoing partnership between Telkomsel Ekosistem Digital and AMAB, which has introduced several games in Indonesia already. The new gaming venture will look to form partnerships with third-party game developers while nurturing local talent, Telkomsel added.
Reggy Susanto, head of strategic partnerships at AMAB’s parent company, GoTo, explained the venture would open opportunities in the gaming industry, “which holds great potential in an increasingly digital-first world”.
Telkomsel Ekosistem Digital will be the majority shareholder of Majamojo, with Hahn Jung-won taking the lead role as president director, joining from Razer where he was VP of software and services.
