After signing on Zeptolabs and snagging ex-Reliance Games CEO Manish Agarwal, Nazara Games has roped in Anuj Tandon, erstwhile co-founder of Rolocule Games to manage its mobile game publishing business.

"Anuj is one of the experts of the Indian mobile gaming industry and we are thrilled to have him onboard.

Of late, the company has been on a hiring spree, snagging industry veterans such as Sanjay Soni to head up its studio business, and Ubisoft's Jitesh Panchal as its senior game designer.

But what does this mean for Rolocule? The company has long been perceived as one of the few game studios in the country with a solid design sensibility and fresh ideas. It's last game, Dead Among Us won game of the year at Nasscom Game Developers Conference 2015. The company put on a strong front.

"We're already working on an exciting new IP and we are looking forward to yet again set new benchmarks with it in the Indian gaming industry," teased Rolocule's founder and CEO Rohit Gupta. "Our three flagship games - Flick Tennis Online, Bowling Central, Dead Among Us are consistently growing."
