What exactly went wrong with Koo?
Read somewhere that they raised 525 Cr while the rev. at that point stood at 14L
What surprises me is that one cofounder is left with just 1% stake. I mostly discount such things but here it was an explicit bet because the funds knew Aprameya and not because they saw any potential in the idea. Doomed to fail from the start, no matter how right wing they positioned it to be.
Gov & right wing had nothing to do with koo from day 1 ! Why are you bringing them into this...all gov personalities are on twitter themselves, so why drag right wing into it.... the product itself was hapf cooked and investors jumped on the ideo of Indian sicial media
I didn’t say the right wing supported them. I said they try to position Koo to be pro right wing, sucking up and licking their boots, and still didn’t work out as the govt and/or the rw folks didn’t care about any of this.
Why do you think that it was the right wing party people who joined it first ? Just a coincidence ?
When a bhakt supported app stops being supported by the bhakt agenda, this is what happens
Are you against Indian products competing with global giants? Most people don't even have the balls to do something like this. Why abuse anyone who attempts to do something so unthinkable? Commentary dena easy hai. Karna bahut mushkil.
1 - no, I’m not against Indian products competing with global giants
2 - there was no abuse in what I said, padhna seekhlo Amazon mein kaam ayega
3 - comment karna haq hai, tumko nahi karna toh tum mat karo. Mein karunga.
I remember some guy/girl from koo put a post on Grapevine 1 month back stating how Aprameya used to openly say in townhalls that "aapko yahan g**nd marwani padegi"
That was me bro
Are you still in Koo. What's happening there?
Down the loo
Govt not supporting now? 😂
I have worked in koo for a few months during its early stage. It is the most toxic work environment I have ever seen. The co-founder knows jackshit about tech and expects every feature to be delivered in a day or two and our CTO doesn't object to anything he says. And the result is we devs have to work our ass off to deliver them on time . The code quality used to be always compromised since there is no time to work on refactoring and optimising the code base. In a few months me along with almost all the founding members left the organisation. They tried hiring people in large from top institutions but I know the same cycle is going to be repeated if the top management is toxic and incompetent to such a degree.
No USP. Basically a twitter clone sold in the name of nationalism. It was doomed to fail and the investors are idiots.
Bhai FD krva lete to fayda revenue hota
Lol! Desi developers need to realise that this overhyped nationalism of creating apps that are over ambitious to compete with Social Media Giants like Twitter must stop!

Another startup that could have been something had it not been for the bull market and Tiger investing unnecessarily. Over $66Mn raised, and now it's over.
Copy cats. App should have been called Poo
They laid me off as an intern after promising PPO :(
What problem were they solving anyway
