New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) Global technology company Affle (India) Limited on Saturday reported a 21.4 per cent rise in its profit after tax at Rs 66.4 crore in the April-June quarter of this fiscal.

“This quarter too witnessed the accelerated broad-based growth in ad spends powered by our unique ROI-linked CPCU business model, coming across our top industry verticals. This performance was a result of strategic efforts to enhance our consumer-centric platform offerings, further verticalise our capabilities towards high-growth industries, leverage acquisitive synergies and the disciplined execution from our teams,” said Anuj Khanna Sohum, MD and CEO of Affle.

The company said it has rolled out the CPCU model on Connected TV (CTV) globally, with household sync capabilities, empowering advertisers to reach users across devices. Some of Affle’s platforms include Appnext, Jampp, MAAS, mDMP, mediasmart, mTraction Enterprise, RevX and Vizury.
