Globe constructs and retrofits towers to withstand extreme weather, factoring in risks such as flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Backup power sources have also been installed to reduce network interruptions and ensure continuity,” Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer.</p> <p><a></a>In partnership with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), Globe plays a vital role in disseminating geo-tagged disaster alerts, as required by Republic Act 10639, or “The Free Mobile Disasters Alert Act.”</p> <p><a></a>Beyond prevention, the mobile leader has established swift response mechanisms to support affected communities, including pre-positioning resources like Cell site on Wheels (COW), Tower on Wheels (TOW), Cell site at Less Footprint (CALF), Genset on a Truck (GOAT), and Emergency Base Stations to maintain connectivity in disaster-affected areas.</p> <p><a></a>Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging (LTLC) stations are also deployed in disaster-hit areas to provide residents essential communication services amid power outages. Meanwhile, Globe’s telehealth provider KonsultaMD offers medical and mental health services to assist in disaster recovery.</p> <p><a></a>Employee volunteers also help prepare and distribute relief supplies, reflecting Globe’s commitment to community recovery and rebuilding. Through Globe Rewards, customers can directly donate to partner organizations, providing aid for those in need.</p> <p><a></a>Globe’s commitment to climate action is also key to its disaster risk reduction strategy. By pursuing its net-zero ambition, the telco giant seeks to reduce the risks posed by extreme weather and other climate-related threats through climate mitigation.</p> <p><a></a>On the other hand, speaking at the panel discussion on “Leveraging Digital Advancements for Early Warning Dissemination and Communication,” Emmanuel Estrada, Globe Vice President for Regulatory Development and Strategy, highlighted the importance of a multi-channel approach for emergency communications.</p> <p><a></a>He emphasized that integrating cell broadcasts with location-based SMS and various channels— such as sirens, billboards, TV, radio, mobile apps, and social media —would significantly expand audience reach. Maintaining consistency across platforms is crucial to prevent confusion and ensure that information is delivered clearly and effectively.</p> <p><a></a>“In times of emergency, it is crucial that we leverage all existing and in-service technologies to send Emergency Alert Warning Messages (EAWM) to as many people as possible. This means we cannot rely solely on mobile networks,” he stressed.</p> <p><a></a>Estrada also shared that Globe is exploring <a href="https://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/newsroom/corporate/globe-lynk-first-ever-leo-satellite#gref" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology </a>to ensure uninterrupted communication in areas where terrestrial networks may fail. These satellite services can extend connectivity to remote or disaster-affected areas, enhancing resilience for emergency teams.</p> <p><a></a>With disaster preparedness embedded in its business model, Globe applies the principles of Resilience by Design (RD) throughout its network lifecycle, ensuring that critical infrastructure, such as satellite hubs, are positioned safely to maintain service continuity.</p> <p><a></a>The APMCDRR 2024 gave Globe a valuable opportunity to present its DRR accomplishments and reaffirm its commitment to protecting Filipinos through innovative technologies and sustainable practices. With over 4,000 attendees, this year’s conference emphasized accelerating DRR efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change and natural disasters across the region.</p> <p><a></a>To learn more about Globe, visit <a href="https://www.globe.com.ph/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.globe.com.ph/</a>.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>###</em></p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=735cce23df&attid=0.0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1821123461161058877&th=1945ee23a2a2823d&view=fimg&fur=ip&permmsgid=msg-f:1821123461161058877&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ-dedVEnCTA9-7iDtYl0-FGUoxF0EU7kspRl0dKScxEU9cjVvDVoZ7PqGEoOZd-u_LeCNvfHGG3eYpKxaojuMYQ9uBcZq29wx4ZGM-MbGZ9enZOvttJdjp9oHU&disp=emb&realattid=ii_m5qmvk600&zw" alt="About Globe_Cropped.jpg"/></figure><p>The post <a href="https://www.anthonynachor.com/globe-spotlights-holistic-disaster-resilience-strategies-at-apmcdrr-2024/">Globe spotlights holistic disaster resilience strategies at APMCDRR 2024</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.anthonynachor.com">Anthony Nachor</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">120</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Globe pushes for industry-wide collaboration to deliver connectivity to remote areas</title> <link>https://www.anthonynachor.com/globe-pushes-for-industry-wide-collaboration-to-deliver-connectivity-to-remote-areas/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Correspondent]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2024 11:14:42 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Business & Tech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Globe]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.anthonynachor.com/?p=116</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Anthonynachor | Globe pushes for industry-wide collaboration to deliver connectivity to remote areas | In support of the country’s push for digital inclusivity, Globe advocates for a</p><p>The post <a href="https://www.anthonynachor.com/globe-pushes-for-industry-wide-collaboration-to-deliver-connectivity-to-remote-areas/">Globe pushes for industry-wide collaboration to deliver connectivity to remote areas</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.anthonynachor.com">Anthony Nachor</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.anthonynachor.com/">Anthonynachor</a> | <em>Globe pushes for industry-wide collaboration to deliver connectivity to remote areas</em> | In support of the country’s push for digital inclusivity, Globe advocates for a collaborative, industry-wide approach to expand infrastructure in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs).</p> <p><a></a>Carlo Puno, Globe Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer, highlighted the importance of collaboration among telcos, government agencies, and tower operators to make the most of existing resources in expanding telecom services to underserved communities.</p> <p><a></a>“It should be a rollout that is maximizing the current footprint of the different players, potentially leveraging the towercos’ presence in certain areas and avoiding duplication of efforts in any of the mobile network operators,” Puno said at a recent media briefing.</p> <p><a></a>“I think if we’re able to do that, we will be able to support the government and bridge that digital divide. But it has to be more [of] a conversation in the industry rather than just one player like Globe rolling out,” he added.</p> <p><a></a>Currently, Globe has over 600 operational sites in GIDA areas. </p> <p><a></a>The Connectivity Plan Task Force (CPTF), a body headed by Ernest Cu, Globe President and CEO, under the Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC), recently proposed the construction of new towers in remote parts of the country through a public-private collaboration. </p> <p><a></a>This is aligned with the Marcos administration’s push to bring connectivity to remote areas. Over 7,000 Philippine barangays are classified as GIDAs, with about 25 million residents lacking access to life-enabling connectivity.</p> <p><a></a>Telcos also pledged to provide SIMs with data plans to unconnected households via government subsidy starting this year until 2028.</p> <p><a></a>Through this cooperative approach, Globe and the other players aim to support the government’s Digital Philippines vision and ensure that every Filipino, regardless of location, has access to the opportunities afforded by digital connectivity.</p> <p><a></a>To learn more about Globe, visit <a href="https://www.globe.com.ph/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.globe.com.ph/</a>.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>###</em></p> <p><strong><em>ABOUT GLOBE</em></strong><em></em></p> <p><em>Globe Telecom, Inc. is a leading full-service telecommunications company in the Philippines and publicly listed in the PSE with the stock symbol GLO.

Version 6.0 introduces Spotlight, a contextual recommendations engine powered by AI, designed to identify key inefficiencies in IT operations and suggest corrective strategies.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="427" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3.jpg?resize=640%2C427&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-97" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&ssl=1 2048w, https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https://i0.wp.com/www.anthonynachor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rakesh-Jayaprakash-3-scaled.jpg?w=1920&ssl=1 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></figure> <p>The 2023 <a href="https://www.getdbt.com/state-of-analytics-engineering-2023">State of Analytics Engineering</a> report found that time to business insight is the biggest challenge for nearly <a href="https://www.getdbt.com/state-of-analytics-engineering-2023#challenges_data_preparation_by_title_link">50% of surveyed directors</a>. Spotlight dramatically reduces the time IT managers and CIOs spend analyzing various IT metrics and coming up with remedies to fix structural fault lines in operations. By incorporating decision-intelligence capabilities, Analytics Plus now facilitates contextual decision-making, addressing a crucial gap in traditional analytics software.</p> <p>For instance, Analytics Plus can analyze correlations between the age of IT assets, their frequency of failure, and the meantime to repair. Based on these parameters, it suggests the optimal time frame for asset replacement. This approach ensures that organizations neither dispose of assets prematurely, losing usable value, nor retain them for too long, negatively impacting employee productivity. With the introduction of Spotlight, ManageEngine reinforces its commitment to enhancing IT operations through intelligent, data-driven solutions.</p> <p>“While traditional analytics tools excel at providing a platform for analyzing any type of data, they often lack the necessary context of the data they are analyzing. Deriving meaningful and context-specific insights is becoming increasingly challenging due to a significant disconnect: the people performing the analysis are skilled at mining data but often lack the IT context, making it difficult to translate findings into actionable business decisions,” said Samantha Hall, Service Delivery Manager, Leathams Ltd., a UK-based food supplying company. </p> <p>Analytics Plus’ built-in AI engine is programmed to study common IT processes and identify solutions to achieve desired results more quickly. Spotlight acts like an assistant, constantly monitoring for bottlenecks or operational inefficiencies and offering tips for corrective action. By bringing in IT context and leveraging AI capabilities, Analytics Plus ensures that organizations can address issues more effectively and efficiently.</p> <p>“Organizations no longer want to spend hours mining data for actionable insights. They require ready-made strategies that they can implement immediately to see rapid results,” said Rakesh Jayaprakash, product manager and chief analytics evangelist at ManageEngine. He added, “There are sufficient tools in the market that promise automation and remediation for day-to-day network and application failures, but there’s a lack of focus on strategic decision-making. This is the gap Spotlight aims to bridge.”</p> <p><strong>Root Cause Analysis</strong></p> <p>Quick decision-making is only half the journey; IT managers and CIOs also need a way to backtest their decisions to ensure a new strategy or model will achieve the desired results. In addition to decision intelligence capabilities, ManageEngine is introducing the Root Cause Analysis feature, which automatically identifies the top factors contributing to a particular trend. This feature allows IT managers and CIOs to verify whether their changes or decisions are having a positive impact. </p> <p>For instance, if tools are implemented for auto-remediation of L1 network issues, Root Cause Analysis can look at the increased uptime and highlight the reduction in L1 network issues as the major contributor to better network uptime.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>No-Code Auto-ML for Deep Analysis</strong></h3> <p>The new version of Analytics Plus empowers IT teams to create custom machine learning (ML) models without writing a single line of code. Traditionally, developing and deploying ML models was restricted to experts. However, Analytics Plus’ no-code ML platform democratizes this process, allowing IT managers to develop ML models directly on the data they are familiar with.</p> <p>With this capability, IT managers can build ML models for prediction and classification, such as a predictive model to derive the probability of ticket escalations based on various factors or related events. This approach ensures the development of highly specific and accurate models because they are built on the organization’s unique data and validated by the very people who use it daily. </p> <p><strong>Unified IT Metrics Library</strong></p> <p>Analytics Plus serves as a command center and decision hub for IT by contextually analyzing all IT data, enabling organizations to cross-correlate metrics and identify interdependencies. Analytics Plus version 6.0 introduces the Unified IT Metrics Library, listing all KPIs from an IT environment in a single view, effectively acting as a comprehensive directory of metrics. This makes searchability and reusability easier, breaking down silos created by various IT tools and serving as a single source of truth for any metric that IT teams need to track.</p> <p>“Traditional IT data analysis is often confined within individual tools. For instance, resolution time of incidents is limited to ITSM while mean time to repair a device is restricted to IT operations management. This inhibits cross-correlation and prevents organizations from obtaining a complete picture of their IT infrastructure. By analyzing all these metrics together in a centralized platform, organizations can unlock significant value,” said Jayaprakash.</p> <p>The Unified IT Metrics Library democratizes data by making a catalog of KPIs readily available for technicians to conduct their analyses, which can also be consumed by other IT applications for contextual integration. This comprehensive approach enhances governance and ensures that all relevant metrics are easily accessible and managed effectively, driving quick decision-making.</p> <p>In addition to these key features, Analytics Plus version 6.0 includes a range of productive enhancements such as multivariate forecasting, workflow charts, support for distributed processing (on-premises) and more than 10 new integrations with popular IT tools, <a href="https://www.manageengine.com/analytics-plus/analytics-plus-6000.html">detailed here.</a></p> <p><strong>About Analytics Plus</strong></p> <p>Analytics Plus is an IT analytics and decision intelligence software designed to provide organizations with a unified view of their IT operations, correlate interdependencies, and derive meaningful insights.

Currently, 7,063 barangays are classified as Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs), home to nearly 25 million residents.</p> <p><a></a>At the meeting, Cu shared that as of 2024, over 600 Globe cell sites were already operational in GIDAs.</p> <p><a></a>In a major push to expand coverage, the country’s three Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), including Globe, proposed to maximize utilization of existing towers and build new infrastructure in GIDAs. The telcos also proposed to provide SIMs with data plans through government subsidy to unconnected Filipino households between this year and 2028.</p> <p><a></a>The SIMs will include automatic monthly load seeding of 50GB for a year, which can cover the average usage of a five-member household. This ensures that even remote communities can be connected with mobile signals and the internet, enhancing their access to education, healthcare, government services, and economic opportunities.</p> <p><a></a>“The telco industry is fully dedicated to leveraging our partnership within the industry and with the government to reach underserved areas where the private sector has been unable to build because of the negative cost to business,” said Cu.</p> <p><a></a>“Once the government lays a bigger stake in our push for inclusive connectivity and invests in our proposal, this will mark a milestone in our collective aspiration for a Digital Philippines. Together, we will be able to create pathways to opportunities and essential services that can significantly improve lives,” he added.</p> <p><a></a>By maximizing the use of existing sites while strategically building new ones in underserved areas, the project will minimize overlaps among providers and optimize coverage across the country. This allows each barangay in GIDAs to receive telco support from at least one provider, avoiding unnecessary competition and duplication of efforts in a single area.</p> <p><a></a>Beyond the immediate infrastructure rollout, the CPTF is also advocating for critical legislative support to strictly enforce the streamlining of permitting process for new cell sites, ensure consistent energization for telco towers, and rationalize spectrum user fees.</p> <p><a></a>These policy reforms are essential for the efficient deployment of new infrastructure, enabling telcos to serve GIDAs without encountering unnecessary regulatory hurdles.</p> <p><a></a>In its Digital 2024 report released in January this year, Data Reportal said 26.4% or over a quarter of Filipinos “remained offline” at the start of the year, indicating that while robust connectivity has been achieved in the country, still a number of the Philippine population lacked internet access.</p> <p><a></a>Marcos earlier vowed to improve connectivity infrastructure in the country, saying his administration would pave the way for policy reforms and nationwide enforcement of streamlined processes to remove hurdles to connectivity expansion.</p> <p><a></a>To learn more about Globe, visit <a href="https://www.globe.com.ph/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.globe.com.ph/</a>.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center">###<strong></strong></p> <p><strong><em>ABOUT GLOBE</em></strong><em></em></p> <p><em>Globe Telecom, Inc. is a leading full-service telecommunications company in the Philippines and publicly listed in the PSE with the stock symbol GLO.

The market’s attractive valuations and low foreign ownership also offer upside potential, making local equities a viable investment option for policyholders,” he said. </p> <p>Terena Kuo, BlackRock’s Vice President for Southeast Asia, underscored the need to diversify out of cash, local assets and single company stocks and bonds. “Many clients are enticed to take advantage of high deposit interest and bond yields. Historically though, the highest 12-month returns for equity and fixed income portfolios occur for those investing during these rate pauses that we are currently in,” she said. Kuo also discussed potential scenarios in the upcoming US elections, drawing from decades of data which suggest that markets seek to perform well regardless of the ruling political party. </p> <p>Paolo Puno, InLife’s Product Development Officer, for his part, focused on attractive income through a data-driven and sustainable investment approach. Highlighting the merits of InLife’s Global Sustainable Income Fund that utilizes BlackRock’s data-driven approach to seek monthly income and long-term growth, he noted that the fund delivered a yield of 6.86% last July. </p> <p>InLife’s Chief Agency Officer Stephen Ong, meanwhile, expressed appreciation to the policyholders for their continued trust in InLife and to the agency force in Cebu for championing the company’s mission of helping Filipinos lead A Lifetime for Good. </p> <p>Ong pointed out that as of the second quarter of this year, InLife maintained its position among the country’s top life insurers, ranking 3rd in Net Worth, 4th in Assets, and 5th in sales performance. “Far more important than these numbers are you, our Amorsolo Circle members. We will continue to engage you and keep you updated with our company and your investments and improve the perks and benefits for you. InLife is committed to ensure that you are well taken care of.” </p> <p>The Market Outlook and Client Forum is one of the perks of InLife’s Amorsolo Circle members. “The Amorsolo Circle is InLife’s exclusive program for our VIP policyholders. We conduct market outlook forums, social events, musical performances, and art exhibitions. We also provide priority servicing lanes, relaxed underwriting requirements, and exclusive product offers to our Amorsolo Circle members,” said Divina P.

This multi-award-winning game, a heartfelt tale of love, loss, and reincarnation has appealed to Indian audiences at home and abroad, connecting deeply with elements of their rich cultural heritage. Tuttifrutti Interactive hopes to inspire pride among Indians everywhere and introduce the world to the richness of India’s storytelling traditions.</p> <p>Drawing inspiration from Indian epics and the concept of reincarnation, Darkarta takes players on a journey through the mystical lands of the Indus Valley. The story focuses on a mother’s strong and unbreakable love for her missing child, set against the backdrop of an ancient civilization. Darkarta reflects values deeply embedded in Indian culture, from the strength of family bonds to the age-old wisdom of rebirth and karma.</p> <p><strong>Story Inspired by Indian Mythology</strong></p> <p>At the heart of Darkarta: A Broken Heart’s Quest is the philosophical exploration of reincarnation, a theme deeply rooted in Indian culture and traditions. The story is further enriched by its setting in a fantastical, reimagined Indus Valley civilization, bringing players face-to-face with the beauty, mystery, and timelessness of one of India’s most celebrated ancient cultures. Through puzzles and an engaging storyline, players are taken on an emotional journey that evokes both nostalgia and pride.</p> <p><em>“The Tribal Shaman’s ‘Theyyam’ fire dance music, performed by our Art and Animation leads from North Malabar, captures the spirit of ancient tribal rituals. The story of our forgotten hero ‘Anantha’ is inspired by the untold love of India’s freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose. We used similar words as him to express our heroine’s profound inner pain, as we can’t depict “true love” in better words!” </em>tells Ajish Habib, CEO of Tuttifrutti Interactive.</p> <p><strong>A Global Success for an Indian Developer</strong></p> <p>Since its release, Darkarta has garnered critical acclaim worldwide, earning several awards and an overwhelmingly positive user rating on Steam. Indian players have been particularly vocal in their praise, with the game consistently ranking at the top of Play Store charts in both freemium and premium categories in India. The success of Darkarta is a testament to the growing potential of Indian game developers and their ability to tell stories that resonate globally.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXezWENAzqSVHWyiqKD5EmsevcZ1AWRRLfraUVAA6O9t6Ypm8lAddc4SvjzAlKH-DShpjJn3IQEjSx0UE1_r4dXozfS5p8RTs-j0YJb7JAAnT3dl9Oxv_01PZXfhqSfANhzbH0jqteaH7R3F3ChLSWeooOqQ?key=wZYg7cjVK5e_6q8qM1a-TA" alt=""/></figure> <p><strong>Celebration of Motherhood and Humanity</strong></p> <p>One of the most unique aspects of Darkarta is its focus on motherhood and the battle against racism. The narrative follows a mother’s journey to save her daughter from a curse, and explores themes of sacrifice and unconditional love. It also deals with racism and makes a bold statement on the importance of equality and humanity.</p> <p><strong>Connecting with Indian Audiences Abroad</strong></p> <p>For Indians living abroad, particularly in the United States., United Kingdom, and other parts of the world, Darkarta is like a bridge to their homeland. Many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) have embraced the game as it rekindles their connection to Indian culture. With a PEGI rating of 12+, the game’s family-friendly puzzles and storyline make it an ideal fit for a wide player base.</p> <p><strong>Darkarta: A Broken Heart’s Quest Collector’s Edition links:</strong></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Steam (PC): <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/601530/Darkarta_A_Broken_Hearts_Quest_Collectors_Edition/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://store.steampowered.com/app/601530/Darkarta_A_Broken_Hearts_Quest_Collectors_Edition/</u></a> </li> <li>Nintendo Switch: <a href="https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/darkarta-a-broken-heart-quest-collectors-edition-switch/?srsltid=AfmBOorOX_2tuw3BDiu8vPMfk1LYJsX0WJ7UgPXUl029drk44F3ZJp6k" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/darkarta-a-broken-heart-quest-collectors-edition-switch/</u></a></li> <li>Google Play: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.tuttifrutti.darkarta.abhq&hl=en&pli=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.tuttifrutti.darkarta.abhq&hl=en&pli=1</u></a> </li></ul> <p><strong>Press kit: </strong><a href="https://prnordic.box.com/s/p2al2ncwt81nkquz10ac7km1v5b7yi5s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>Click Here (images, trailer)</u></a> </p> <p><strong>Trailer: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwPS8Zn01J0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><u>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwPS8Zn01J0</u></a> </p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcWAZqd43QntHLyoqnFDLH-aZTMobqgZ23GTwYzEBRsIuzY0FMUbheTXbuSQs1Nfpk816nDoO-hzQIpT21gTtoHDPijPg_0sk31Djvo6oo1MI6T5wdi92IXo18XfhJ6al7Zr-9KqbWOmwNjGwN_6KtXYEc?key=wZYg7cjVK5e_6q8qM1a-TA" alt=""/></figure> <p><strong>About Tuttifrutti Interactive</strong></p> <p>Tuttifrutti Interactive is an award-winning premium game development studio based in India, dedicated to creating games that tell unique, emotionally-driven stories.
