Brian B. Koh, Chief Commercial Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, said: “It was an honour to officially open our new India office and to spend time with the incredible team that will be based there.
“We are a truly global company so it’s important that we have a presence in all corners of the world to help deploy our long-term plans and support the wider organisation and its commitment to being the number one infrastructure and security provider to the online gambling industry and businesses in other highly regulated sectors.”
Michael Tobin, CEO and Founder of Continent 8 Technologies, added: “As Continent 8 continues to grow not only geographically but its services and solutions, it is important we have a team in place that can support our ambitious expansion plans.
