About Koo India

We are an Indian microblogging and social networking service. Our platform is designed for connecting, commenting, and engaging in Indian languages. We understand that just 10% of India speaks English, and almost 1 billion people in India don't. Instead, they speak one of India's hundreds of languages. Koo is our attempt to make the voice of these Indians heard. They can now participate on the internet in their mother tongue by listening to the views of some of the sharpest Indian minds and also speak their mind by sharing their thoughts.

Our platform is available in multiple Indian languages and includes features such as English to regional language keyboards, local language news feeds, and hyper-local hashtags, allowing users to express themselves on a variety of topics using text, audio, and video. Users can convey their thoughts in 400 characters of text, or one-minute short audio or video Koos. We also feature people's feeds, 1-1 messaging, and have content moderation policies in place where people can be unfollowed, blocked, content can be blocked, and comments can be blocked or hidden. We were launched in early 2020 and gained prominence after winning the government's Atmanirbhar App Innovation Challenge. We are proud to have been recognized by the Government of India and Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi as one of the Aatmanirbhar Apps of India. Our mission is to connect the world through amazing daily experiences. We aim to give the power and control to users and creators to create a world they want to live in. Since 90% of India speaks a native language, we have attracted creators from across 'Bharat' - including millions of first-time users, earlier hesitant to be on English-first platforms.

We are backed by a robust technology stack. Our focus is to leverage AWS services and utilize open-source tools to achieve the required output. We are honored to have been mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his monthly speech. Many young start-ups would vie for such attention. We are an open platform, and people of all ideologies are joining. We were just months away from beating Twitter in India in 2022 and could have doubled down on that short-term goal with capital behind us. A prolonged funding winter which hit us at our peak hurt our plans at the time and we had to tone down on our growth trajectory. Despite challenges, we are committed to our vision of being the voice for many Indians who want to express themselves in Indian languages.
