Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 16 (/NewsVoir): Today, Truecaller, the leading global communications and Caller ID platform, announced the opening of its first exclusive office space outside of Sweden, in the southern city of Bengaluru, India.

The launch of the Bengaluru office marks a significant milestone in Truecaller's journey in India. Since its entry in the country a decade ago, Truecaller has today grown to 338 million monthly active users, of which about 246 million are from India. Crucial to its growth and innovation capabilities, India presents unique opportunities to launch new products and services on the Truecaller platform and obtain feedback to improve solutions further.

The company's Bangalore facility occupies a renovated space of 30,443 square feet and can accommodate up to 250 employees, offering top-of-the-line technology and amenities. Truecaller plans to use this facility as its primary hub to deliver India first features and serve users globally. Notably, this office is the largest establishment of Truecaller outside of its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden.

The decision of opening an exclusive office in India is representative of the growth of India as a trusted technology partner to the world. The government's vision and focus is on enabling entrepreneurship and expansion of a vibrant innovation and startup ecosystem in India. The journey to where we are today in 2023 as one of the most exciting and fastest-growing ecosystems in the world has been a result of the hard work of many years where our Prime Minister had outlined and set out one of the key goals of making India a technology enabler.
