The app serves a great purpose in a country such as India. Many people, being unaware of the scammers and their practices fall prey to their tricks. During the event, Truecaller CEO and Co-Founder, Alan Mamedi said that they have over 270 million active users in India, and about 5 million spam calls are reported every day on the platform.
The DND app's rating in the Google Play Store is pretty low (1.8 out of 5). However, the app has more than 500k downloads, which is a significant number.
