Nimbuzz records 100 mn users landmark

Nimbuzz, a leading cross-platform global communications solution, today announced that it has become first India-headquartered internet company to cross the 100 million user landmark, hence making into the big league of Top 20 most reached internet companies in the mobile and Web communications space. Nimbuzz addresses a growing global demand for data usage as the only multi-language solution with more than 25 regional languages. Nimbuzz provides a single tool to make voice and video peer-to-peer calls, send instant messages and share data between all major communications platforms – on any mobile device or desktop – for free.

 

Nimbuzz has seen massive growth within the emerging mobile App market across India and the Middle East, and continues its tremendous growth within the U.S., amassing more than 6.5 million users that communicate daily with friends and family overseas. The company has also built strong developer channels with local carriers and global OEM device manufactures.

 

Launched in the Netherlands in 2006, Nimbuzz enables free video and voice calling between users, while dramatically reducing the cost of calls to landline and mobile phones. Nimbuzz unifies and enables communication across major platforms, including MSN, GTalk, Yahoo!, social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, mobile platforms like iOS, Android, Symbian, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and J2ME as well as Windows, Mac and Web. The company has relocated its headquarters to India in 2012 with a refreshed focus.

 

“Families and friends are attempting to communicate with each other through mobile devices around the world, but many operating systems and communication platforms require the use of large amounts of expensive data,” said Nimbuzz CEO, Vikas Saxena. “Nimbuzz bridges this gap by providing a single platform, at low-to-no cost, across any device in any form of voice, video, file sharing and more. We are powering a global network of connected mobile users.”

 

Nimbuzz’s easy-to-use mobile solution is designed to address a unique user-base within the U.S and emerging global markets.
