The daily active users (DAU) reached 314 million, out of which 234.4 million daily active users are based in India.

Truecaller experienced a significant 5 per cent surge in global ad revenue compared to the first quarter of 2023, largely driven by the increased demand for digital advertising coinciding with the Indian Premier League (IPL).
