Instant messaging platform Nimbuzz has announced its global subscriber base has now gone past 150 million in 200 countries. Nimbuzz reveals more than 60 percent of its user base comes from Asia.

"The company now boasts more than 37 million users in the Middle East and over 41 million in Rest of Asia including India," Nimbuzz said in a release.

In a recent interview with Digit, Nimbuzz CEO Vikas Saxena had revealed Nimbuzz had seen a significant growth after launching on the Android platform. “Since we released Nimbuzz for the Android platform, we have seen incredible sustained growth, both in India, as well as other mobile markets around the world – this growth is a direct result of the need and demand for a universal (cross-platform) communications solution. People need to communicate and need to do so in the easiest, most collaborative way possible. As smartphones and data plans continue to gain momentum in emerging markets, we expect to see this growth continue,” said Vikas Saxena.

Nimbuzz says it has seen a 100 percent year-over-growth with the platform now supporting more than 5,000 devices. According to Nimbuzz, more than 1 billion minutes of Nimbuzz P2P, NimbuzzOut and SIP calls are made per month, while over 102 billion messages are sent and received per month. Android accounts for over 35 percent of all active and new users.
