Homegrown Kaagaz Scanner app eyes 15-20 mn users after ban on CamScanner
Tech startup Ordenado Labs has seen strong growth in usage of its indigenously developed app, Kaagaz Scanner in the weeks following the ban on Chinese apps, and is confident of its user base touching about 15-20 million users over the next few months. The company launched the document scanning app on June 14, just days before the Indian government banned 59 mobile apps with Chinese links - including Kaagaz's rival, CamScanner - on June 29, terming these apps prejudicial to sovereignty of the country. "(The ban of) CamScanner has left a huge void for about 100 million users in India. We are of course targeting that number.
