Koo was founded in March 2020, as a micro-blogging platform in Indian languages.
Available in multiple Indian languages, people from across different regions in India can express themselves in their mother tongue.
In a country where just 10% of India speaks English, there’s a deep need for a social media platform that can deliver immersive language experiences to Indian users and help them connect with each other. Koo provides a stage to the voices of Indians who prefer Indian languages.
