Bengaluru: Koo App – India’s multi-lingual micro-blogging platform - has been ranked as one of the next 5 Hottest Products from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region by The Product Report 2021 created by Amplitude. Koo App – a unique platform which empowers users to express themselves in their mother tongue, is the only social media brand from across APAC, US and EMEA to be rated in the prestigious report. Koo is also one of the only two brands from India (CoinDCX being the other), to find a mention.
The data from Amplitude’s Behavioral Graph showcases the hottest emerging digital products from around the world that shape our digital lives. The report describes the Koo App as a “social media platform with a unique differentiator for its primarily Indian user base”. It further states that Koo is “poised to become the social media platform of choice for a community that’s more than 1 billion strong.” As a Made-in-India platform for expression in native languages, the Koo App has garnered over 15 million users in the short span of 20 months since its launch in March 2020, and provides its offerings across nine Indian languages. Backed by robust technologies and innovative language translation features, Koo is expected to cross 100 million downloads in the next one year.
