Gurgaon-based True Balance was started in 2014 by South Korean expatriate Cheolwon (Charlie) Lee. True Balance claims to be providing quicker and intuitive balance check, call log, data pack assessment, and recharge service for prepaid Android smartphone users. It uses Big Data to give real time information on best plans and offers and also helps earn and recharge balance.
