India has already proven to be a significant market for Snapchat, with the platform boasting 200 million users in the country.

Mohan expressed the company's intention to sustain this growth trajectory, saying, "The company now has 200 million snapchatters in India. Most of that growth has happened in the last 3-4 years. Our agenda in India is to continue the growth.

A lot of the focus in the last 3-4 years was on establishing Snapchat's presence in India and ensuring people, especially teens, understood the proposition of Snapchat. Now I think it is time to do business around the 200 million snapchatters."
