Evernote hits 1 million users in India

INDIA: Evernote, the company that is helping the world remember everything, has crossed 1 million users in India.

The Evernote service was launched in 2008 and has been adding a number of features since. It allows users to capture, organize, and find information across multiple platforms. Users can take notes, clip webpages, snap photos using their mobile phones, create to-dos, and record audio.

All data is synchronized with the Evernote web service and made available to clients on Windows, Mac, Web, and mobile devices. Additionally, the Evernote service performs indexing on incoming notes, making printed or handwritten text in images searchable.

“User adoption for Evernote in India started slowly, but picked up at a rapid pace in the last two years. The global user base of Evernote is more than 50 million today and in India now we’ve hit a million,” said Linda Kozlowski, director of Market Development, APAC for Evernote.

“Like our CEO, Phil, always says, we built Evernote for ourselves, it was something we wanted to use and now we love and rely on it. We quickly realized that there were many more like us who really appreciate the product. Having a million users in India is evidence of Evernote’s value across regions and cultures.”
