Innova

Innova was founded in 2006 by George Chumburidze (a representative of the Italian yacht shipyard Azimut-Benetti), Armen Gasparyan, Vasily Medvedev, Oleg Sambikin, and Gevork Sarkisyan. In 2009, Sambikin and Medvedev exited the business and founded the developer Syncopate. At the time of the company's creation, the online games market in Russia was described as a "gray zone": foreign games were mainly adapted by pirates. The first licensed game released by the company was RF Online by the South Korean company CCR.

In 2010, Innova released a launcher compatible with all games released by the company. In January 2012, this was replaced by the 4game platform. In December 2010, the company launched the online movie theater Ayyo, which provided video-on-demand and download-to-own paid access to films. In the following years, Ayyo showed both profit and loss, and in March 2017, it was frozen in the midst of the general unprofitability of the Russian online cinema market.
