Further, considering the 80 crore internet base in India, the CEO said there is massive potential for further growth.

"There is huge potential for further growth. There are about 80 crore Internet s in the country, the majority of whom wish to express themselves in their native language. Their sharing of thoughts is restricted to closed groups and known people and are unable to express freely in the open Internet and be discovered."

Going ahead, Koo will continue to invest in technology and build the platform with a -first mindset to further drive digital independence for native language-speaking s in India and across the world, it said.
