Mumbai: Mobile messenger service WhatsApp's user base in India has grown to 70 million active-users, which is over a 10th of its global users, its business head Neeraj Arora said today.

"We have 70 million active-users here who use the application at least once a month," Arora, a vice-president with WhatsApp, said at the fifth annual INK Conference here. He said the total user-base for the company, which was
bought by Facebook in a blockbuster USD 19-billion deal earlier this year, is 600 million.
