E-Sports Gaming App For MPL
About the Client
Before becoming one of the biggest gaming platforms in India, Mobile Premier league was just an idea of some visionaries that was destined to be the most popular entertainment platform in the near future. As a start-up based out of Bangalore and operating in stealth-mode, MPL managed to score massive investments from leading investors with their concept and then went on to cement their place as the premier real-money based e-sports service. Today, MPL provides access to over 20 unique competitive games, all in a single place.
The Problem
The co-founder of MPL, Shubh Malhotra, was on the lookout for the best React Native developers to help him and his team realize their dream of providing an e-sports experience that would entertain people from all walks of life. In his pursuit of finding a reliable team with a proven track record of greatness, he reached our website and told us his requirement through the website request form.
Their requirement was of a beautiful and distinct UI/UX for their mobile app that would resonate with their users and create a strong and unique image of the brand. As the team discussed plans with the client, it became clearer that the Time & Material engagement model would be the right fit for incorporating all the requirements that client might have going forward with the project, and given the nature of the project, no definite phases were set.

Team On-Call
MPL had big plans and needed the best team to assist them in executing them. As the project involved starting small and building upon the way the project would turn out, the assignment was passed on to a single developer, led by Ankit for the initial stages. As they requirements kept getting denser and more complex, more developers were brought on board and trusted with taking the mantle to great heights. The requirement and the quality of delivery were non-negotiable, hence the client was always made an integral part of all decision making and the team brought onboard was done so with adherence to the clients' expectation.
An all-encompassing, state-of-the-art UI/UX for the mobile app.
The app would have features such as interactive games, wallet management, leaderboards, user management etc.
The app should also inherit a chat feature for players to chat with each other.
The app would also have segments and sections for pushed ads and promotional events, as published from the backend.
An easy to use web based dashboard for easy management of features, promotions and users on the app.
Strategy
We collaborated with MPL over a time and material engagement model to create a robust gaming platform, both mobile and web, for the users in India.
Analysis Planning
As decided by the client, we worked with React Native with Redux and Redis to develop the mobile platform while the tech stack of choice for the web platform was React to align with the framework
UI/UX
While Figma was used to formulate the UI designs, we picked out Whimsical to design feature workflows for the application.
Development
The first milestones that were reached on the project was the creation of welcome modules as well as modules for event winners. Then we went to create features for registration flow, user management, referral modules and chat rooms/lobbies for players along with an in-built wallet with integrated payment gateways.
Testing
The gaming platform has seen a massive success in both the stores whilst our ongoing interactions with the clients have resulted in plans of the release of exciting new features.
Delivery
After eight weeks of hard work, the partnership resulted in a successful MVP which drew in investors the app idea could be developed and visualised.
