Whatsapp and other Over The Top (OTT) players had been in line of fire as telcos felt that it was taking away a large pie of their revenue with free messaging and also free calls.

Whatsapp has some great news for Indian users as it has decided to even waive off the meagre $1 dollar per year subscription fee owing to the lesser credit card concentration in India. Whatsapp will be free for lifetime.

Mr Arora in a talk at his alma mater ISB recalled his journey in Whatsapp and told how he prodded the founders to think about the business aspect of the things. Whatsapp hogged the limelight after being acquired by Facebook for a staggering $19 billion.
