The report highlights a remarkable 16% increase in net sales, bringing the total to SEK 496.9 million.

During the last quarter, the average number of monthly active users surged by 12 million, coupled with a growth of 14 million daily active users. CEO Rishit Jhunjhunwala expressed his satisfaction, sharing that this marks the third consecutive quarter of growth in multiple key areas of the business.
