Hey I am on Medial • 13h

Everyone says “India should have its own social media platforms.” True but it’s not that simple. You need $7–8 billion+ to build something that can survive against Meta, X, or TikTok. It’s not just about making an app it’s about building an entire ecosystem. Koo had momentum but couldn’t scale because competing with global giants in an open market isn’t easy. Medial, on the other hand, focused on a niche and built smart. That’s the difference. In India, we don’t have a digital firewall like China. We’re in an open internet economy you’re competing with Silicon Valley on Day 1. Unless we back serious founders, invest real capital, and stop cloning existing apps, nothing will change.
