Koo - India's Own Twitter

Koo India's Own Twitter

Koo, an Indian alternative to Twitter, has become the talk about the town because it promotes Aatmanirbhar Bharat by offering a Twitter-like experience, but in Indian languages. It is available as an app on both iOS and Android, and also has a webpage. Koo is that the winner of the government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat app challenge from 2020. Although it largely faded from the spotlight then, the app has again gained popularity after Twitter refused to require down some content that the govt had ordered it to get rid of. This takedown is an ongoing matter, but within the meanwhile, government bodies like MeitY, and senior politicians like Union Minister Piyush Goyal, are tweeting about Koo and their accounts on that platform.

Koo is a Personal Updates and Opinion sharing micro-blogging platform. Discussions are around interesting topics. It empowers people to express their thoughts in Indian languages with a strong knit local Indian community.

Koo has been declared an AatmaNirbhar App and won the AatmaNirbhar App Innovation Challenge held by the Government of India in August 2020. PM Narendra Modi encourages Indians to use the Koo App in his Mann Ki Baat speech too. Follow interesting Indians from all walks of life on Koo.
