Said Dish TV CEO Arun Kapoor, “We are glad to strengthen our partnership with Visiware International to launch a whole new set of Cartoon Network games on our platform. We are delighted with this launch, since this service will offer games with India’s favourite characters such as Ben10, Powerpuff Girls, Roll No. 21 and more to mass audiences residing in smaller towns also. This strengthens our portfolio by penetrating not only the larger cities, but also the Tier II and III cities and small towns.”

We are strong believers in partnerships with TV channels and pay TV providers to create new kind of interactivity on set-top boxes.
