Section AQuestions Part 1:a.

The vision of the company is to expand its customer base in the gamingindustry which is codenamed as ‘Rashomon’. They are trying to introduce such a product thatcan be used by all sections of people like women, children, adults, etc. and the game is notlimited to the teens and young men only.
