MobiKwikGurgaon-based One MobiKwik Systems Pvt Ltd, which owns and operates the online recharge platform Mobikwik.com, claims to have crossed the six million registered users mark. According to the company, most of this growth has been organic, since it had only recently started investing in marketing. It is now looking to facilitate mobile recharges worth Rs 1,000 Cr in FY15.

"We have seen organic growth in numbers from the time we went live. In the initial years, we focused on delivering a great product experience and relied on word-of-mouth for user acquisition. But over the last few months, we have started investing in marketing initiatives to add fuel to the fire," said Upasana Taku, head, business development and merchant operations at MobiKwik.

"A slew of marketing campaigns have been planned that will not only address the issue of lack of trust for non-users, but also raise awareness around the brand and product proposition," she added.
