Koo — an Indian startup that was launched in 2020 as a competitor to Twitter (at present often called X) — is shutting down. The firm, began by Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidawatka 4 years in the past will stop operations after acquisition talks with “multiple larger internet companies, conglomerates and media houses” failed, in keeping with the app’s founders. Koo was one in all a number of firms which have tried to create alternate options for US-based Internet companies in India, catering to customers in native languages.

Koo founders announce shutdown

In a LinkedIn publish on Wednesday, Koo founders Radhakrishna and Bidawatka mentioned that Koo can be shut down after acquisition discussions with “multiple larger internet companies, conglomerates, and media houses” didn’t materialise. A TechCrunch report in February claimed that Koo was in talks to be acquired by Bangalore-based information and content material aggregator Dailyhunt.

The founder additionally mentioned that “a couple” of the businesses that had been in talks with the corporate “changed priority almost close to signing” and “most of them didn’t want to deal with user generated content and the wild nature of a social media company.”

Koo had round 10 million month-to-month energetic customers and a pair of.1 million day by day energetic customers at its peak. The app grew in recognition — boosted by an endorsement and adoption by the federal government — when Twitter and the federal government of India locked horns over content material takedown requests. In 2022, Koo crossed the 50 million consumer mark and mentioned it was aiming to overhaul Twitter’s consumer base in India inside a yr.

Another issue that affected the corporate’s development was a chronic funding winter that has additionally affected a number of different startups all over the world. Radhakrishna states that Koo wanted 5 to 6 years of “aggressive, long term and patient capital” to develop customers to a big scale earlier than producing income. 

According to Radhakrishna, the choice to close Koo down was taken as the price of working the social media app was too excessive. Koo made its algorithms public in 2022, and the founders now say that they can even consider making the service into “a digital public good to enable social conversations in native languages, around the world.”
