New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): In a testament to the tectonic shift in India's online gaming story, Zupee, India's leading online skill-based gaming platform, today announced a significant milestone by surpassing 150 million users and staggering 12.5 billion gameplays, according to a company release.
Further to marking 100 million users and 6.6 billion gameplay in November last year, Zupee Ludo's gameplay has nearly increased 2x by volume within 8 months, testifying that millions aren't just downloading Zupee Ludo, they are coming back to play it, repeatedly.
According to the company release, this sustained, inclined growth reaffirms Zupee's position as a category leader at the vanguard of India's online gaming ecosystem. From reimagining an iconic board game like Ludo with a skill-based lens to introducing innovative technology that ensures fair play and transparency, Zupee Ludo has become India's go-to skill-based game and continues to build an entertaining experience that is culturally relevant yet engaging for today's digital generation.
Govind Mittal, Chief Spokesperson at Zupee, stated, 'This milestone echoes the trust and love that we have received from users across the country.

As we continue to scale, we are committed to delivering a seamless gaming experience for our users with a strong focus on technological innovation and responsible game play.'
Growth That Reaches Every Corner of Bharat
According to a company release, Zupee didn't just join the skill gaming category - it built it, scaled it and now leads it. The brand introduced the first-ever skill-based Ludo formats in India, including Ludo Supreme, Ludo Turbo and Ludo Supreme League - driving both scale and distinction.
The formats offer shorter, faster gameplay (under 10 minutes) to suit mobile-first Indian audiences. Breaking traditional Ludo dependency on luck and reinforcing the skill element, Zupee introduced Dice-less mode and move-based scoring, said the company release.
From the Heart of Bharat, for the Future of India
At the heart of Zupee Ludo's design philosophy lies meaningful entertainment; a game which entertains, engages and empowers users to take strategic control of the game. The multi-format approach to Ludo blends product innovation with gameplay that is easy to engage with yet demands strategic thinking.
According to the release, Zupee integrates features like RNG certification, no-bot policy, blockchain-backed fair play and transparency with a strong emphasis on responsible gaming. Zupee has successfully created a safe, inclusive and transparent ecosystem, ensuring that gaming remains a joyful experience.

Viral Video Claims To Show "Cleanest Indian Street Food", Internet Does Not Agree

The allure of street food lies in its unapologetic flavours, vibrant colours and the infectious energy of the streets themselves. Indian street food, in particular, is renowned for its bold spices, tantalising aromas and the unbridled passion of its vendors. However, amidst the chaos of crowded streets and sizzling grills, a question often lingers: cleanliness. A recent video claiming to showcase the "cleanest" Indian street food has gone viral on social media, sparking a heated debate online. The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows a street food vendor making a rose-syrup drink. Also Read: Cold Drink In Omelette?

Another added, "The refusal to wear gloves, at a minimum, is impressive." Some even came out in defence of food hygiene in India. A viewer wrote, "Foreigners be coming to India and eating from the most unhygienic and rotten places where even locals don't eat." "Why complain about street food? No one's stopping you from going to a restaurant and eating hygienic food. Street food is made on a low budget where hygiene is undervalued, but it delivers rich and authentic flavours," read a comment.

"Courage Has No Age": Woman Completes 10,000-Foot Skydive On 80th Birthday

An eighty-year-old woman has become the oldest Indian woman to complete a tandem skydive. Dr Shraddha Chauhan, mother of Retired Brigadier Saurabh Singh Shekhawat, jumped from a height of 10,000 feet on her 80th birthday to make it to the record books. Despite battling vertigo, cervical spondylitis and spinal disc issues, Dr Chauhan took the plunge at Skyhigh India, at Narnaul Airstrip in Haryana, two hours from Delhi. It is the country's only certified civilian drop zone. In a video shared by Skyhigh India's official Instagram, Dr Chauhan is seen preparing for her jump with the support of her son, one of India's most decorated Army officers. "She is my mother. Turning 80 years, and today, I have the good fortune and honour of jumping with her," he says in the clip. "Happy Birthday," he said, as his mother planted a kiss on his cheek. The 80-year-old said, "The desire I had in my heart, to fly in the sky like an aeroplane, today my son has fulfilled that wish. It's a very proud moment". The video shows the brigadier helping his mother stretch and warm up before the flight. Onboard the aircraft, he assists her with the gear, and moments later, the duo free-falls into the blue. A GoPro camera captured the wind whipping against their faces and the breathtaking fall. As her feet touched the ground, Dr Chauhan made history. Many came to congratulate her and wish her a happy birthday. The caption read, "She is now the oldest Indian woman to do a tandem skydive - and the oldest to do so within India. A mother. A milestone. A moment that soared. Courage knows no age. Love has no altitude." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Skyhigh (@skyhighindia)
