SMS Gupshup is one of the fastest growing mobile services in the world. It is often addressed as India’s twitter. But it is not an accurate comparison. SMS Gupshup offers group sms messaging over mobile phones. So it is a mobile app where as twitter is primarily a web app. SMS Gupshup has grown from 7M users last year to 20M users this year. At this rate in the next year or two they will have more users than India’s web users (30 to 40M). In India mobile is the killer platform, not the web. Services like SMS Gupshup and Mytoday have tremendous potential in India. Both are lead by capable entrepreneurs that I really respect and like.
In this video Mike interviews Beerud Sheth, CEO of SMS Gupshup.
