Nikhil Khandelwal

Impact App

Mumbai, Maharashtra

Suffering a fracture to his leg made Ishan realize the true value of health and physical movement. But it was while undergoing physiotherapy that he was struck by just how important consistency was for reaching fitness goals. Wanting to share this revelation with others, he teamed up with college friend, Nikhil, to create Impact App: a platform that motivates people to get out and walk on a consistent basis. For extra incentive, the app also offers rewards in the form of charitable donations and tree planting. The pair recently launched a 21 Day Street Challenge to get people walking even more and hope to add additional activities: including jogging, cycling and meditation soon.

"From a product level and organizational maturity standpoint, Google Play definitely helped us grow and mature as a company"

Abhishek Desai

Kuntal Shah

Meet Shah

CricHeroes

Ahmedabad, Gujarat

15,000,000+

65


Software engineer Abhishek and his friends regularly played cricket on the weekends, but they often found it tricky to accurately keep score of their matches. This gave Abhishek the idea to digitally track match results, partnering up with college friend, Kuntal, and his cousin and professional cricketer, Meet, to bring it to life. On CricHeroes, grassroots cricketers can log scores, live stream matches and see data insights into their performance. The trio also recently launched a ground booking tool allowing people to reserve pitches in advance. Next, they want to expand their Dressing Room feature to include more cricket equipment and merchandise, as well as add a Hall of Fame to highlight top players.

"Google Play have been very helpful throughout our journey, from giving us the ability to reply to reviews to providing us with reports and insights into the app's performance"

Romit Dodhia

Holy Cow Studio

Dist Thane, Maharashtra

41,939,600+

28


Romit discovered a love for gaming aged just 6 when he first borrowed his cousin's game console. This early passion led him to study animation in the USA, pursue work as an animator and later become a game designer in his own right. When he came back to India in 2014, he wasted no time setting up Holy Cow Studio and quickly developed a number of titles, including his popular release, Home Design Dreams, where players can craft fantasy homes and interiors. His goal with the title was to provide people with a space to express their creativity and design flair - something he himself values. In the future, Romit hopes to introduce social features for people to share their designs, as well as launch even more games that promote personal expression.

"Something I love about Google Play is its accessibility. Anyone can make a game. If it's good, Google Play will automatically promote it, giving everyone the opportunity to be seen"

Anupam and Anshu Dhanuka

Kiddopia

Mumbai, Maharashtra

5,243,600+

70


When developers and couple Anupam and Anshu saw how much their one-year-old daughter enjoyed playing with a tablet, they got the idea to create digital educational content based on real-life experiences for preschoolers. The inspiration for their first release, an animal-feeding game, came from watching their daughter happily feeding the cows near their home. When this proved to be a huge hit, they went on to create a series of apps, eventually combining them all onto one subscription platform: Kiddopia. They recently added a STEM learning section to teach youngsters coding basics. Next, they're working on adding more role-playing games, like their upcoming interactive show, Captain Kidd and Friends, which features a cast of lively animal characters.

"It's very easy to upload updates on Google Play and everything, including payments, is very seamlessly managed"

Sneha Sundaram

Bharath Bevinahally

Kutuki

Bengaluru, Karnataka

4,998,300+

20


Married couple Sneha and Bharath both had successful corporate careers but decided to pursue performing, producing, and teaching music professionally. By helping kids learn music, they developed a great interest in early learning and changed their career path once again to create an educational platform for youngsters. Kutuki — meaning curious one — has animated stories, rhymes and games that teach kids foundation skills like literacy and numeracy, as well as Indian traditional culture and values. Next, they hope to use data analytics to create more personalized learning journeys for each child.

"From an Android perspective, being on Google Play is invaluable as you are able to distribute on one platform but reach multiple mediums, including Android TV, tablets and multiple smartphones"

Satyaprem Upadhyay,

Amit Kumar,

Kamal Singh Chauhan,

Himanshu Upadhyay

and Mukesh Poonia

Nojoto

Gurugram, Haryana

9,069,800+

29


Satyaprem was a theatre actor and producer, and has always seen India as a goldmine of storytellers. But many had no platform to spread their art. He then decided to join forces with co-founders Amit, Kamal, Himanshu and Mukesh to build Nojoto: an app where creators can showcase their work in 12 Indian languages. What started with written quotes evolved to podcasts and performances, allowing artists to make money by selling tickets to their live streams. With over 1.5 million creators and 8 million viewers on the platform, the team has recently added a feature for audience members to speak directly with performers. In the future, they hope to launch a creator consulting service too.

"Google Play provides us with a range of data, like number of installs and crashes — and that helps us enhance our platform and create a better experience for everyone"

Roby John,

Sanket Nadhani,

Christelle D'cruz,

Sreejit J

and Navneet Waraich

SuperGaming

Pune, Maharashtra

160,000,000+

135


It was while teaching at university that engineer Roby decided to create his own mobile gaming company. Collaborating with his top student, Sreejit, and longtime colleagues, Navneet, Sanket and Christelle, the team soon launched SuperGaming. They are passionate about representing Indian culture in their games, with references to the Hindu festival of light, Diwali, and characters based on real Indian stars. One of SuperGaming's most popular titles is the multiplayer fighting game Battle Stars: Battle Royale. Next, they’re releasing a new game inspired by the bronze-age Indus civilization, reimagined in an intergalactic future with a robotic Taj Mahal. They recently integrated Indus with Google’s AI project 'Gameface' — allowing people to play using just their facial expressions.

"Google Play understands what developers need, making it easy to set pricing, take payments and run tests"

Anuj Mankar

Nautilus Mobile

Pune, Maharashtra

300,000,000+

40


Growing up, Anuj and his dad were both huge cricket fans. But he always dreamed of combining this with his other passion: video gaming — a dream he fulfilled in 2013 when he opened his own studio Nautilus Mobile. He released a range of mobile cricket games and one of his most popular, Real Cricket 20, has over 50 million downloads. It's praised for its realism — giving players the option to relive actual moments from televised matches, and also keeps up with the changing rules of the sport. In the future, he wants to give players more customization options and ultimately become the number one cricket gaming franchise in the world.

"Our relationship with Google Play has been tremendous. They've given us feedback and helped us to grow, even featuring us at the 'Google Play's Best of 2022' games from India"

Mahek Agarwal and Aayush Agarwal

BooBoo Games

Ahmedabad, Gujarat

1,000,000+

50


Aayush was a pharmacist, researching stem cells and working on treatments for brain tumors in the US. But when he got back to India, he completely changed career course, leaving the medical field to pursue his passion of game development instead. Collaborating with his fashionista wife, Mahek — who has a keen eye for design — he launched BooBoo Games and has since released over 600 titles. In one of their most popular games, Key Evolution, players upgrade their car keys to fancier models as they pass through different levels. Next, they want to monetize the game and publish even more chart-topping titles.

"We're very satisfied with Google Play. When it comes to the reviewing and approval process, it's so fast, which makes it easy to publish new games and updates"

Shobhita and Shashwata Narain

Veera Health

Mumbai, Maharashtra

10,000+

55


When Shobhita was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) - a hormonal condition - she was disappointed with the level of support she received. So she teamed up with her sibling Shashwata to create Veera Health: a platform that gives women suffering with PCOS access to holistic wellness advice from gynaecologists, dieticians, dermatologists and mental health professionals. They recently added a meal tracker to monitor patients’ nutrition, as well as their own line of supplements to support reproductive health. In the future, they want to continue to support women's health by building solutions that cater to more conditions, like thyroid issues and menopause.

"The reason we started Veera Health was to create significant social impact. It’s been transformational for women who have struggled their entire lives with PCOS"

Namita and Prashant

Airveda

Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

107,500+

25


When Namita moved back to India from the US, both her and her young children experienced asthma flare-ups due to the air quality. Determined to improve their health, she teamed up with her engineer brother Prashant and created technology which uses sensors to detect air quality and notifies people on their app, Airveda. Their goal is to empower their community with information so they can take steps to protect themselves from pollution. They recently added a forecast feature, and are currently working to deploy 700 sensors to rural areas so that even more people can access accurate air quality data.

"Google Play has been excellent to work with. The platform is easy to use and the review process is quick and simple"

Shruti Sarraf

Anupam Srivastava

BlackLight Studio Games

Noida, Uttar Pradesh

200,000,000+

40


Shruti learned to code as a young kid, spurring a career as a game developer in adulthood. When she noticed how quickly the digital industry was developing in India, she and her now husband, Anupam, decided to waste no time in creating their own games. Their most successful release, Ludo SuperStar, is based on the nostalgic board game and has achieved over 170 million downloads. Thanks to its multiplayer feature, it became hugely popular during the Covid lockdown as families and friends played it to stay connected. The pair recently localized the game in Turkish with the plan to further expand their fanbase in the Middle East.

"Google Play provides a whole ecosystem of products to help developers. We use store listing experiments, A/B testing and monitor data through Google Play — all of which make life easier"

Aryen Suresh Kute

OAO India

Pune, Maharashtra

1,000,000+

180


Lots of young kids are keen gamers, but Aryen took his passion one step further by launching his own gaming company, OAO India, at the age of 10. His vision was to combine Indian mythology with classic fun mobile genres - like his debut release Krishna Makhan Masti — a classic bubble shooter game featuring the popular Indian deity, Krishna. Still in school, Aryen remains dedicated to his education and waits until home time to start working on his company. Next, he wants to incorporate new technologies into his games, like 3D multiplayer features, as well as release his new endless runner game School Time.

"Gaming has the power to transform the way we think about entertainment, education, and social interaction, and I am excited to be at the forefront of this dynamic and rapidly evolving industry"

Mehak Sagar Shahani

Anand Shahani

and Mayank Gupta

WedMeGood

Delhi, Delhi

2,863,700+

105


When Mehak and Anand were planning their nuptials, Mehak recorded the experience in her blog, detailing all the struggles she encountered finding the right makeup artist and photographer. When hoards of brides all over India began following along for tips, the newly-wed couple got the idea to create a one-stop shop wedding platform. Quitting their jobs, and teaming up with a friend, Mayank, they launched WedMeGood: connecting soon-to-be brides and grooms with reputable vendors, venues and wedding services. They recently went live with digital invites and, in the future, hope to allow people to book and complete transactions directly through the platform.

"In India, most people use Android phones. We wanted to reach the maximum amount of people by distributing on Google Play"

Narendra Singh Dahiya

and Dr Mona Dahiya

Homefoodi

Noida, Uttar Pradesh

355,000+

12


Businessman Narendra and fertility doctor Mona noticed many stay-at-home women across India were keen to showcase their culinary skills and make some money, inspiring the couple's idea for Homefoodi. The delivery service provides a platform for cooks to sell their home cooked meals to people seeking healthy, authentic regional cuisine. As well as taste, the company focuses on health and nutrition, with many kitchens catering to diabetics and offering immunity-boosting dishes. Looking forward, they hope to grow the company and empower more talented homemakers across the country.

“The Google Play data insights are extremely useful. Through analytics, we’ve been able to observe market trends and patterns — which has helped us shape our app for the better”

Dr. Amit Malik

and Neha Kirpal

Amaha Health

Mumbai, Maharashtra

4,400,000+

220


Throughout his career in psychiatry, Amit was struck and frustrated by the lack of early access to mental health services. So he created Amaha Health in 2016, and a few years later was joined by Neha — an entrepreneur with lived experience of mental health. On the platform, people can find self-care programs and join anonymized community support groups. They can also access resources 24/7 whenever they need to feel and stay better - including support from qualified therapists and psychiatrists if they're based in India. The team has recently added a therapeutic journaling feature and, in the future, will extend professional support to people across the globe.

"Support from Google Play helped us to work on our listing pages and improve the app overall. As a whole, the Google Play platform has been great"

Pramit Bhargava

Visioapps Technology

Gurugram, Haryana

56,700+

25


Pramit was climbing the corporate ladder when medication he was taking damaged his retina, therefore losing his vision. No longer able to read, he required help from friends and family to carry out daily tasks. One day, when a friend was booking a driver for him, Pramit got the idea to create a tool that could function exactly like a virtual friend through voice-activated commands. Using Louie — named after the creator of Braille, people can operate apps using their voice, making technology infinitely more accessible for the visually impaired. A recent update introduced special capabilities for reading text in images. Now, they want to integrate it with even more apps and add more languages.

"A young boy in Jamaica, completely blind from birth told us that for the first time he was able to use an app to make a phone call without any help. Stories like this are our inspiration"

Chirag Pipaliya,

Somish Kakadiya

and Ronak Pipaliya

Vasundhara Game Studios

Surat, Gujarat

15,000,000+

226


Ronak had so much fun playing multiplayer games with his friends at college that he grew inspired to develop his own. He swiftly learnt to programme and, at the age of 17, partnered up with software veterans Chirag and Somish to create Vasundhara Game Studios and release over 40 games. His main focus across all his projects is encouraging interaction between players for maximum fun. Their most popular title, Car Racing on Impossible Track, features extreme tracks for rip-roaring racing. Next, Ronak has a number of new games in the pipeline set for release in the near future.

"Distributing our games on Google play helps us to reach a global audience interested in mobile gaming"

Aneesha Jyoti,

Vatsala Sharma

and Puneet Singh

Language Curry

Gurugram, Haryana

2,360,000+

10


At 17, Aneesha emigrated to Canada and met many second generation Indians who struggled to connect to their heritage and native tongue. This sparked the idea for Language Curry: an app for learning Indian regional languages like Sanskrit and Tamil, and delving into the rich culture around them. Her friends and co-founders Puneet and Vatsala shared this passion, with Vatsala losing knowledge of her own mother tongue when she moved to another state as a child. In the future, they hope to add more languages, personalize the lessons based on each person's intent and expand the cultural content.

"Our goal has always been to take India and Indian languages globally and to help promote and preserve Indian heritage"

Anshul Agarwal,

Meet Singhal

and Harsh Tyagi

Stamurai Speech Therapy

Delhi, Delhi

218,900+

17


Anshul, Meet and Harsh became friends and shared an apartment while working for a startup. Even after years living together, Anshul wasn't aware that Meet used to stutter. Meet explained he had bought various medical books and taught himself some speech therapy exercises to overcome the disorder. After this conversation, the trio decided to spread their knowledge and create Stamurai. The app was built for their own benefit but has been helping thousands of people worldwide. They are now working on adding more languages and more exercises for other speech disorders.

''I avoided ordering my favourite food, going shopping and talking to strangers. These speech exercises allowed me to do things that seemed simple for some, but were a struggle to me''

Anshul Kamath

and Rohan Arora

Evolve

Mumbai, Maharashtra

401,000+

When business leader Anshul returned to India from London, he met Rohan at a wine tasting. The pair bonded over their experiences in overcoming mental health struggles, and discovered they had the same goal: to create something in the mental wellness space. So they built Evolve - an app with guided meditations, breathing exercises and daily affirmations. During the pandemic, the pair realized the LGBTQ+ community was one of the most underserved in mental health support, so they adapted Evolve to meet their needs. Next, the duo plan on adding collective safe spaces where people can share their experiences and mentor each other.

"Google Play provides so much insight into your audience. It actually helped us identify the LGBTQ+ community as our niche and subsequently adapt Evolve to tailor to them. Without Google Play, we wouldn’t have become LGBTQ-first"

Tejas Jasani

TheAppGuruz

Rajkot, Gurajat

35,000,000+

90


Tejas was always determined to go his own way in life and pursue programming, rather than his family's construction business. In 2011, he founded TheAppGuruz to make games and apps for others, but when now CEO Yuvraj joined with the idea to create games of their own, they researched and discovered how popular cooking games are. However there weren't many titles catering specifically for Asian and Indian audiences. So, the team decided to resonate with food lovers regionally and their games were a big hit. Now, Tejas and his team are developing more cooking simulation titles, as well as traditional board games for a global audience.

"Gaming is a field where you can innovate, explore and learn. That’s what makes cooking games so compelling — the opportunity to try new and virtually taste new things"

Akhil Singh,

Mohsin

Rohit Pande

Reallearning Technologies

Gurugram, Haryana

1,810,600+

61


Akhil and Mohsin first met at a party where a discussion about tech paved the way for a fruitful collaborative partnership. With help from another friend, Rohit, the trio built several startups together. Their newest venture, Questt, was born when they reflected on how their teacher friend spent so much time marking his students’ papers. This made them realize that digitizing student progress and grades would provide more insight than a simple, overall mark. The app gathers student data from homework and tests to create a personalized learning journey. Next, they want to add collective game building to encourage even more active learning.

"Through the Google Play ratings and feedback, you create a sense of trust and transparency. People can learn about the app and how it performs before they download it"

Dr. Jaideep Malhotra,

Rajesh Jagasia,

Ravi Teja Akondi

and Mayur Dhurpate

iMumz

Bengaluru, Karnataka

804,000+

57


While volunteering at an NGO, engineers and college friends Ravi and Mayur met meditation instructor Rajesh. The trio were inspired to promote wellness in India and, aware of the struggles in prenatal care, focused their efforts on pregnant women. Teaming up with obstetrician and fertility expert, Jaideep, they created iMumz, where expecting women can practice mindfulness, meditation and bonding exercises with their baby. They also recently added personal coaches for nutrition, lifestyle and yoga known as the womb care programme. For the future, they want to reach and support more mums across the globe, starting with North America and Europe.

"Being picked as one of the top 30 of Indian apps by Appscale Academy of Google Play India gave us so much support from the Google Play team, which has been a game changer for us"

Ayushi Sinha

and Nikhil Bansal

Alippo Elearning

Bengaluru, Karnataka

204,500+

52


During lockdown, Nikhil’s mother dedicated her time to different hobbies like cooking. Watching his mum scour the internet for recipes and techniques, Nikhil and his wife Ayushi realised there was no educational platform specifically for women in India. This gave them the idea for Alippo: an app where Indian women can upskill and start their own businesses, with classes and study materials on everything from handicrafts to cosmetics. Nikhil’s mother — along with numerous other women — is an avid user of the app, continuing to hone her cooking skills. Next, the couple want to provide women with raw materials for their businesses and even offer financing.

"The explore feature on Google Play helped us reach so many women who read our positive feedback and downloaded the app. We’ve acquired so much organic growth this way, simply by being present on Google Play"

Sai Gole

and Siddharth Dialani

BharatAgri

Pune, Maharashtra

3,900,000+

30


Sai and Siddharth first met working on a university project to build a robot that could climb trees and pluck coconuts for farmers. Later, spurred on by Sai’s own family business in farming, the couple decided to make solutions for the agricultural industry. Observing how farmers didn’t use scientific techniques to improve yields, they created BharatAgri. The app offers soil and water testing, weather forecasting and other technologies to help farmers get the most from their crops. They also recently launched a marketplace feature where people can buy fertilizers and pesticides. Looking forward, they want to further empower farmers by offering them access to insurance and credit.

"The biggest advantage for us of distributing on Google Play is the huge audience and reachability it provides us with"

Sourav Gupta

and Gunjan Gupta

GunjanApps Studios

Kolkata, West Bengal

212,000,000+

33


When Sourav and Gunjan had their son, they noticed how fascinated he was watching videos on their phones. This gave Gunjan the idea to provide meaningful screen time for him by making educational games for young children. Fast forward to today and they have 42 apps, including Yoga for Kids where youngsters follow along with simple yoga poses and unlock animated pets as rewards. Next, the couple want to develop apps that teach kids about their environment, like how the weather changes. And, whatever they’re working on, their son remains their main tester. If he’s laughing, they know it’s a success.

"Google Play has been really instrumental in helping us reach a very large audience of parents and teachers"

Jitin Bhatia

and Sonu Sood

Explurger

Delhi, Delhi

3,850,000+

27


As a jetsetting businessman, Jitin realized he’d left India 62 times in 8 years but couldn’t remember everywhere he’d been. This gave him the idea for Explurger — a travel social app to keep track of the exact number of miles, cities and countries an individual has travelled to, and store all their travel pictures and videos. One of the first to get the app, Indian film star Sonu Sood was so impressed he decided to come onboard as a co-founder. In 2022, Google Play's Appscale Academy helped Jitin improve the app with advice from data and social media experts. A new update rewards travellers with Explurger Counts which can be redeemed with top brands.

"Whenever we have an issue, the Google Play team connects us to the right people to find a solution. We always get the help and support we need"

Kriti Bajaj

and Ram Chandra

QuitSure

Mumbai, Maharashtra

700,000+

16


Husband and wife team Kriti and Ram first met as colleagues and, as fellow smokers, would take their smoke breaks together. When they decided to quit, they both found the habit hard to break, motivating them to discover the secrets and tools to successfully stop. Mountains of in-depth research later, they released QuitSure which uses cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and conscious hypnotherapy to help people to quit for good. Next, they want to help more people by making QuitSure available in different languages.

"People have sent so much love and gratitude our way. We’re really helping them to quit smoking. This makes us feel super motivated to keep working to reach more and more people"

Satish Kannan

and Enbasekar Dinadayalane

MediBuddy

Bengaluru, Karnataka

16,000,000+

1800


When Satish and Enbasekar graduated college, they began working in the healthcare industry. Noticing that there was a hugely disproportionate ratio of doctors to patients, with few doctors in rural areas, they came to the realisation that technology was the best way to bring healthcare to billions across India. This led them to create MediBuddy, where people can receive online doctor consultations, order home lab tests and access medicine. Next, they want to reach more people by making the platform available in regional languages.

"The data insights provided by Google Play have helped us understand our audience's sources, demographics, behavior, and devices, enabling us to make informed decisions about how to improve our product and make it better for everyone"

Abhiraj Singh Bhal,

Raghav Chandra

and Varun Khaitan

Urban Company

Gurugram, Haryana

20,000,000+

1200


Old university friends Varun and Abhiraj reunited in Delhi after returning to India and decided to build their own company. Back home, they were introduced to tech entrepreneur Raghav and tested different ideas for a startup. When Abhiraj couldn’t get a joiner to do repairs in his house, they realized home service industries were crying out for digital solutions, sparking the idea for Urban Company. The platform connects beauticians, electricians and maintenance service professionals directly with clients. Workers can also train, upskill and even access free insurance and earn stock grants in the company. Now, the trio aims to further expand the company's international presence and venture into more home services.

"Being present on Google Play has allowed us to easily be discovered by users and to distribute on a wide scale"

Keerti has loved cricket since she was a kid. And while studying for her MBA, she played mobile games as a way to relax and free her mind. It was during college when Keerti met her now husband and co-founder, Kashyap. They used their life savings to combine Keerti's passions and build Hitwicket Cricket Games in 2015, when the mobile gaming industry was just beginning to boom in India. Their games offer immersive experiences, enjoyed by fans worldwide. Next, the company plans to launch Hitwicket World Cup, a mobile esports cricket competition.

''We participated in the Indies Games Accelerator Program and learned a lot from it. The Google Play team help us to interact and engage with people who play our games''

Harsh Snehanshu

and Ashish Singh

YourQuote

Bengaluru, Karnataka

4,550,000+

Software engineer Harsh has always had the same passion as his parents: writing. After being an active blogger for over a decade, he wanted to build a simple platform to help fellow writers spread their ideas using their phones. Alongside his college friend Ashish, he created Your Quote - Writing App, giving people a safe space to share their writing, add images to their quotes to create wallpapers, and even sell their own books. The app supports 12 languages, and the duo now plans to use AI to help people find creators they will love.

"The Google Play team in India has helped us to understand and comply with all the necessary policies, but more than that, they helped us with strategy, growth and monetization as well"

Piyush Kumar

and Dipesh Agarwal

Rooter

Delhi, Delhi

50,000,000+

105


Piyush enjoyed watching his favorite gamers play live online, and wanted to help bring this new trend to India. But he noticed that while Western countries favored PC and console, Indian players preferred mobile. So he decided to create a mobile-first platform for live streaming gaming content. With the help of co-founder Dipesh — who he first met on social media — they launched Rooter, where people can easily become gaming content creators and make money pursuing their passion. Players love that the platform is made especially for the Indian gaming community supporting regional languages. Next, the pair want to grow Rooter to become the biggest gaming content app on Google Play, helping millions of creators make a living from gaming.

"The biggest feedback we get is that people are able to monetize their effort and hard work through us. They believe that they wouldn’t get a chance if there wasn't an Indian platform that understands Indian gamers"

Kaushal Shubhank

Roposo

Bengaluru, Karnataka

126,000,000+

120


Software engineer Kaushal started his tech business in 2014 along with other co-founders, just as smartphone use began to skyrocket in India. They were exciting times, and as the country moved at a pace, so did he, creating new apps for his developing audiences. Roposo Live started as a shopping site, before morphing into a live entertainment platform - now one of India's most popular apps. There's fashion, fitness, music, cooking and comedy, all live-streamed. Kaushal says the best part of Roposo Live is the positive community, who interact with performers in real time.

"Google Play analytics help us to understand where our growth comes from and who our audiences are – that’s so important"
