Koo App has achieved a major milestone by becoming the second-largest microblog in the globe thanks to a considerable rise in users, time spent on the site, and user engagement. The platform, which debuted in March 2020, just surpassed 50 million downloads and has experienced growth.
With Twitter coming in second (behind Gettr in terms of user downloads), Koo is the sole Indian microblog competing with major international microblogging platforms like Gettr, Truth Social, Mastodon, and Parler.
Koo has customers from more than 100 countries at this time, including the US, UK, Singapore, Canada, Nigeria, UAE, Algeria, Nepal, Iran, and India. Koo is currently available in 10 languages. In order to improve openness and credibility on the platform, Koo has awarded 7,500+ yellow ticks of eminence and a million green self-verification ticks since the platform’s introduction. More new international languages are being added, and more nations are being given access to the internet freely.

Not only have they given us the opportunity to grow and drive digital expression in regional languages, but have grown with us by engaging in meaningful conversations on the platform. This is true empowerment for the common citizen. We will continue to invest in our product with a user-first mindset and further drive digital independence for users in India and across the world. Till now we have been available in many countries, but now we are happy to invite a larger global audience to our platform and enjoy a more immersive experience.”

Koo has always provided a free yellow eminence tick to eminent personalities, and a simple self-verification tool to every citizen and will continue to do so. We are very excited about inviting a larger global audience to this proudly ‘Made in India’ product.”
Koo’s goal is to connect like-minded users in the language of their choosing as an inclusive platform with a language-first design. The platform is unique and gives users the freedom to engage in meaningful conversations thanks to features like Multi-Language Kooing (MLK), a language keyboard, subjects in ten different languages, language translations, edit functionality, numerous profile images, and voluntary self-verification.
The platform plans to unveil more product innovations in the near future as part of its ongoing endeavour to improve the user experience.
