Commenting on the results, Affle CMD Anuj Khanna Sohum said, “The world is undergoing a paradigm shift, with accelerated connected experiences redefining the digital priorities of the advertisers globally. Our growth mindset and tech innovations helped us achieve a consistent, all-round performance in Q1 FY2022. I am elated with our broad-based growth coming from the top 10 resilient industry verticals and across India & International markets, driven by significant increase in the CPCU business. Continuing upon the previous year trend, this quarter too witnessed a persistent growth in advertiser spends towards the mobile marketing.

"We enhanced our platforms and product propositions while penetrating deeper across both new and existing markets. Also in this quarter, while India faced a devastating second wave of Covid-19, the resilient nature of our business enabled our positive growth trajectory. I am extremely grateful to our employees who not only ensured continuity of growth business plans, but also helped the company provide support to local communities during such times of crisis. We are optimistic of the industry macro-trends and future-ready to leverage upon new market dynamics & deliver sustainable growth to all our stakeholders.”
Affle completed the patent transfer from Appnext Limited to Affle MEA FZ-LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
