Glance Added 40 Million New Users In Past 4 Quarters, Active User Base Grew 30% YoY In Q1 2022


* Glance’s active user base reached 183 million in Q1 2022, adding about 10 million users during the quarter.

* The recent partnership with realme was a major growth driver for Glance in Q1 2022

* With a presence in India, Indonesia, and parts of Southeast Asia, Glance is now expanding to other international markets

Glance’s active user base in India experienced 30% YoY growth to reach 183 million in Q1 2022 according to Counterpoint Research’s Quarterly Mobile Application Tracker. Glance added more than 10 million users in the first quarter of 2022, a sequential growth of 6%.

Leading smartphone players like Xiaomi (including Poco), Samsung, OPPO, Vivo and realme, which collectively account for more than three-fourths of the Indian smartphone market, all currently have Glance as their lock screen platform.

With growing digitalization, both content creation and content consumption are moving at a fast pace. The Glance lock screen content platform provides seamless content discovery at the first touch of the smartphone. With a wide range of multi-lingual content across sports, current affairs, fashion, travel, food, commerce, and entertainment, it serves the specific interests of smartphone users from different demographics.

Glance, which is present in India, Indonesia and parts of Southeast Asia, is focussing heavily on expansion in existing as well as new markets. Together with its recent partnership with realme, in addition to the existing ones such as Xiaomi, Vivo and oppo, Glance has announced several collaboration projects with key Indonesian brands, publishers, and creators as part of its ‘Indonesia First’ strategy. It is also reportedly planning to launch in other geographies such as Latin America and USA – markets that will provide substantial additional opportunities.

Commenting on the factors contributing to Glance lock screen growth, Research Analyst Arushi Chawla said “Glance lock screen coming as a preinstalled application in smartphones has been the primary and successful way of getting users on-board with the platform. However, the platform’s offerings and growing traction around Glance live entertainment and commerce are all helping Glance improve the user experience and user engagement to go beyond content absorption and ensure a unique interaction. Further, the Glance platform’s AI capabilities help with relevant content discovery and ensure platform stickiness.”

Chawla added, “With the recent partnership with realme, Glance now covers all the top 5 smartphone players in India – Xiaomi, Samsung, realme, Vivo and OPPO, which combined account for more than 75% of the Indian smartphone market. This was the major reason for the rise in Glance’s active user base during Q1 2022. The partnership with realme will help Glance’s installed base continue to grow at a fast pace. And with Glance also going live on the Reliance Jio smartphone and its plans to develop new geographic markets, it will likely get a further boost in growth”.

Starting its journey in 2019, Glance has created an unmatched positioning by pioneering the use of lock screen as an asset for content discovery by bringing infotainment and trending content available 24/7 as a differentiator. Now other smartphone premium brands like Apple are showing interest in improving the lock screen experience

Methodology

Glance’s mobile application presence is calculated from our panel database of over a million smartphone active users. Model-level Glance penetration data and active user ratios were extrapolated to our monthly smartphone installed base data using various parameters such as brand, model, and price band to predict Glance’s active user base. We expect the results to have a statistical precision of +/- 5% at the confidence interval of 90%.

Indian Immunologicals Hosts Massive “Anti-Rabies Vaccine Drive” On World Zoonosis Day 2022


* Administers free vaccines to 2500 pet animals in Karnataka 

* Drive held in Bangalore has inoculates 500 pet animals 

Indian Immunologicals Limited (IIL), a leading vaccine manufacturer organized a nationwide free vaccination camp against zoonotic diseases on account of World Zoonosis Day 2022. Diseases that transmit from animals to human beings are called Zoonotic diseases. World Zoonosis Day is celebrated annually on July 6th to honour the first immunisation against a zoonotic illness. It holds substantial significance in educating and raising awareness about zoonotic diseases. IIL takes pride in offering this compassionate service of large-scale inoculation to the society every year. 

2500 pet animals were vaccinated against Rabies in Karnataka, while 500 pet animals were vaccinated in Bangalore at  Dr. Jayaramaiah Govt Vet Hospital. Raksharab and Starvac R (Anti-rabies vaccines of IIL) free of cost, in endeavour to realize its vision of ‘One health’, a collaborative effort towards optimal health for humans and animals through its innovative healthcare products. A recent report from the State of the World’s Forests 2022 predicts India as a potential hotspot for zoonotic viral diseases. 70% of all emerging diseases such as Rabies, Swine Flu, Nipah, Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, Porcine Cysticercosis, Zika, etc. that affect humans are zoonotic in nature. In their fight against the spread of such zoonotic viruses, IIL’s vaccination camp was escalated to 100 cities across the country through veterinary dispensaries, veterinary colleges and NGOs. 

Zoonotic diseases such as rabies have imperilled human health since antiquity. Dogs are the source of most human rabies deaths, contributing up to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans. India is endemic for rabies accounting for 36% of the world’s deaths. True burden of rabies is not fully known, although as per available information it causes 18000-20000 deaths every year. Rabies is taking its toll on adult men and children, majority from rural areas, due to lack of awareness about proper post-exposure immunization. Several countries have been able to reduce the number of rabies related human deaths through vaccination of dogs. Awareness, accurate diagnosis, improvement in sanitary conditions, prophylactic vaccination are all measures that need to be taken to restrain/eradicate spread. 

Speaking on the occasion of World Zoonosis Day, Dr. K. Anand Kumar, Managing Director, Indian Immunologicals Limited said, “It is the commitment of IIL as a truly One Health company to bring cost effective vaccines in both animal and human health. Through our “Anti-Rabies vaccine drive”, we aim to spread awareness on the disease and need to restrain it. Apart from Raksharab and Starvac R, IIL has the largest range of zoonotic vaccines in the country such as CYSVAX, Bruvax, among others and we are constantly innovating novel vaccines to cater to the ever-emerging zoonotic risks.”  

Indian Immunologicals Limited (a subsidiary company of National Dairy Development Board) is a leading biologicals manufacturer. Through research the company has delivered affordable vaccines for the consumers in India. IIL continues to be a leading manufacturer of animal rabies vaccine (Raksharab) and human rabies vaccine (Abhayrab) in the country. IIL’s CYSVAX is the world’s first vaccine for Porcine Cysticercosis in Pigs. Cysticercosis is a very important zoonotic disease, and it is understood that it is a prime cause of epilepsy in humans. Vaccinating Pigs against Porcine Cysticercosis can help significantly reduce the incidence of epilepsy in humans.
