In an interview in 2021, Aprameya Radhakrina, cofounder and CEO, said he expected the company to grow rapidly. “We haven’t started monetisation yet. We will be focused on growth till we get at least 100 million downloads. Till then it’s about acceleration to get to those numbers. We should hit that mark in a year,” he added.
The high growth has meant the company is being courted by many strategic and financial investors. According to sources, it is in talks with investors to raise a large round of funding.
