Homegrown Koo to foray into 22 Indian languages this year

Domestic micro-blogging platform Koo, which surged in popularity following the Twitter’s recent standoff with the Indian government over allegedly provocative farmer protest posts, will foray into all official 22 Indian languages this year. Koo co-founder and CEO Aprameya Radhakrishna recently said the company is also working on new features such as ‘multi lingual’ Kooing and that the company wants to take Indian technology to the world. “We have been growing steadily and are close to five million downloads and our monthly active users would be around half of that number. Our largest communities are in English and Hindi followed by Kannada, Marathi and Telugu, but we are planning to go deeper into Indian languages,” said Radhakrishna. Koo is also planning to introduce content in Urdu and Sanskrit and is currently present in eight Indian languages plus English, which includes beta testing plus fully launched languages.
