"Towards the beginning of 2013, we realised the potential that the consumption of content on mobile was the next big phase in the industry. With print readership migrating, content publishers were looking at various models of approach to address the growing shift of audiences in emerging markets. With the rise of mobile internet users, the solution was to create an "app"ortunity that will benefit the industry." said Prashant Dixit, Director - Global Business Development, Vserv.mobi.

Aman Malhotra, Digital Marketing Head, Samsung India, said "Multilingual Content getting Appified is key for the growth of mobile media consumption in Emerging Markets. At Samsung, we are always looking for smarter ways to take our ads to the next billion customers, especially to the right customer. This strategy by Vserv to help multilingual content publishers "app"ify their content, comes at the right time."
Through this initiative, Vserv.mobi has played a pivotal role in enabling content for publishers across languages such as English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Malayalam, Bahasa, Malay, Swahili and many more to be added soon.
