Building India's own... • 1m

Today, I faced my second rejection from an investor for my social media app. And honestly, I’m still excited. I fully understand that building a new social platform—especially in a market dominated by giants like WhatsApp—is a bold and difficult journey. We've seen homegrown attempts like Hike and Koo struggle. But I believe timing, execution, and clear differentiation matter. After studying these case studies and deeply analyzing the market needs in India, especially the pain points users and businesses face with Meta-owned platforms, I’ve built something different. 📌 What makes my app unique: Ability to highlight fake/spam messages within chats Seamless integration for affiliate marketing A dedicated user support system tailored for Indian small businesses PLEASE SHARE ME YOUR THOUGH AND FEEDBACK. If you're building something in the social or communication space, or simply interested in this mission, I’d love to connect and learn from your journey too.

Copying western products doesn’t work. Koo is in shambles too. If both ShareChat and Koo fail, social media is over for Indian startups.

I worked with Mayank back during the Goodbox days, a very soft spoken person. Despite of what markets play, an entrepreneur keeps building one thing or other until they receive a key success. But what killed the Koo bird? 1. Differentiation: - N
