Our origin was humble: communication made simple. But in India, we saw a unique problem—people wanted more than chat. They wanted to pay bills, run businesses, and book tickets—all without leaving the app.
The challenge was regulatory and cultural. Could a messaging app become a super app? We tested payments, shopping, and services in small pilots. Adoption was instant. With 500 million active users, the leap was natural.
Today, WhatsApp is not just a messenger. It’s becoming India’s everyday app—where users pay, shop, and connect with businesses. For small enterprises, it’s a lifeline.
Our vision is bold: to create India’s first true super app. It won’t be easy—privacy debates and competition remain—but the potential is undeniable. We started with messages; now we aim to host life itself.
