Indian social media app Koo, once considered a competitor to Twitter, is shutting down due to failed partnership talks, according to founder Aprameya Radhakrishna. Despite exploring partnerships with larger internet companies and media houses, they were unable to reach the desired outcome. Koo aimed to bridge the language gap in social media, especially in India where many platforms are English dominant. At its peak, Koo had millions of daily and monthly active users but struggled to secure long-term funding. The team behind Koo expressed gratitude to those who supported them and mentioned the possibility of sharing their assets or transforming them into a digital public good.
