On Wednesday, Truecaller, the Swedish caller identification app, claimed they now have 185 million monthly active users and over 150 million daily active users in India. In addition, the platform said it has crossed 250 million monthly active users and 200 million daily active users globally.

Since the beginning of the year, Truecaller has increased its active users with more than 40 million users despite the pandemic.

"Truecaller was built with the vision to make communication more effective for everyone and this is what has fueled this spectacular growth over the years," said Alan Mamedi, CEO and co-founder, Truecaller.
