About Wasla Browser
As global habits shift towards digital, many people in emerging markets are left behind due to significantly high data costs and limited infrastructure of fixed broadband; which leaves the vast majority of the population completely reliant on, unaffordable, mobile internet. To solve this issue, we have built a gamified mobile browser that rewards users with free mobile internet, and our mission is to connect the next 500 million people in emerging markets to subsidized mobile internet while fostering digital and financial inclusion. Wasla serves as a centralized platform for all online activity, operating as a gateway that will expand beyond a browser, to a platform that encompasses social networking, shopping, entertainment, and payments. We reward users based on their engagement, and users can redeem their points for free airtime directly from our Wallet; Browse, Collect, Redeem! We drive loyalty by creating unprecedented value for our users, and simultaneously form an ecosystem that redefines brand to consumer interactions, giving brands the ability to engage with their target audience freely.
