• Managed to create a product that our users have loved: In the NPS survey, 87% of activated users are selecting 9 or 10 out of 10.
• Sold 70k+ subscriptions organically across 30 countries including India
• Collectively solved more than 2Mn doubts organically (our user to answer metric is 10x that of Quora)
