Value added service provider Spice Digital, a subsidiary of Spice Mobility, has acquired 26 per cent stake in Vavia Technologies. Earlier in June 2014, the two companies had partnered to launch its SMS-based search engine txtBrowser.
At the time Vavia had claimed that txtBrowser has crossed 300 million queries, of which 200 million queries were from India. The txtBrowser service is also available in UAE, Bangladesh and Nepal. The company had also claimed that it had 4 million unique users globally and 500 developers on its service. In August 2014, Vavia had launched an social network app called Confess that allows users to share ?secret? communications within their connections and groups without revealing identities.
Founded in 2008 Vavia develops web-based products and solutions for both businesses and consumers. Vavia is planning to expand its services to 30 new countries by the end of the current fiscal from its current presence in 6 countries.
