“Majority of Indians are not fluent in English and prefer to converse in their local languages. Given this fact, we announced the launch of MobiKwik app in regional languages. We had launched Hindi last month and Gujarati is the second languages addition to the app,” said MobiKwik Co-Founder, Upasana Taku.
“Even as Gujarat ranks 8th on the list of e-commerce users, consumers in the state are witnessing a growing penetration of mobile based transactions. Cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Surat are fast adapting to digital transactions with Ahmedabad alone accounting for more than 20% per cent of the total transactions on MobiKwik from the state,” the company claimed.
