Over 20 Million Indians logged on to UC Browser to take part in the recently concluded 11.11 UC Shopping Festival, part of Alibaba's 11.11 Global Shopping Festival.

The 11.11 UC Shopping Festival, jointly presented by UC Browser, Paytm Mall, Paytm First, Lazada and AliExpress simultaneously ran across five key markets of India, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Delivering on its commitment of a localisation plan, the festival was available in 14 popular languages - English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Punjabi, Bahasa, Thai, Vietnamese and Russian.

Offering a comprehensive and enriching shopping experience, UC launched a slew of in-app activities. About 15 million Indian users took part in various in-app interactive activities on the UC Browser platform, including Treasure Hunt, "Invite Friends, Win free prize", and Lucky Stars.

UC distributed cashback and gifts of value in excess of Rs 200 million, a jump of over 15x from the gifts and coupons distributed last year. Over 25 lakh Indian users took part in the popular Lucky Stars Game with over 700,000 users winning free prizes.
