Nazara Technologies UK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nazara Technologies, said it has entered a loan agreement with Kiddopia Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary of Paper Boat Apps.

This internal investment will see Kiddopia disburse Rs 75 crore (about GBP 68,00,000) in one or more tranches to Nazara UK for business purposes and repayment of its existing loans, subject to compliance with the applicable laws, Nazara said in a BSE filing on Tuesday.

Nazara Technologies Ltd owns both Nazara UK and Paper Boat Apps.
