Competition from multi-billion dollar companies like Google does not make life easy for Hike Messenger, but its founder and chief executive officer Kavin Bharti Mittal is confident the online messenger service will continue to grow.

In the last three and half years we have proved that despite competition from the east and the west, we've done a good job of just going deep into the market and knowing what people want. As far as competition is concerned we are less worried about them and more about whether we are solving a problem that is relevant and whether we are doing a good job at that.
