India is Twitter's third largest SMB market in APAC

BANGALORE, INDIA: India is one of Twitter’s fastest-growing SMB markets worldwide and is the third largest SMB market in APAC, after Japan and Australia. The average monthly spend has grown 60% per SMB advertiser.

Thousands of Indian SMBs are using the self-service ad platform on Twitter which makes India one of the fastest-growing SMB markets for Twitter worldwide.

Twitter opened up its self-service ad platform in September 2015, to SMB users of India and 200 other countries and territories around the world.

• Grow their follower base
