Indian Rival to Elon Musk's X Shuts Down After Failed Merger Talks | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Indian social media app Koo, once positioned as a competitor to Twitter or X, is now shutting down after talks with multiple buyers failed to materialise over past months. This comes after the founders sought to sell the company. But after prolonged discussions, the buyout talks fell through. Launched in the year 2020 to serve the Indian market, Koo faced various challenges in securing new funding since last year, prompting it to explore mergers with various other platforms, but none of the talks fructified. Palki Sharma brings you the full story.

West has dominated social media world for a long time. Still China was able to come up with Tik Tok that basically took over in a big way. The room for innovation is wide open, especially with the effects of social media on mental health. Indian entrepreneurs could definitely throw up something unique unlike Koo.

UPI's success stems from its originality and not being just a copy of an existing system. Human psychology tends to favor familiar experiences, so being a market pioneer is crucial. In contrast, Koo was essentially a clone of Twitter, right down to the logo, offering nothing new or uniquely tailored for Indian users. This lack of innovation and differentiation led to its failure.

These potential investors got scared of Indian political and business environment and Indian government which has unpredictable policies towards social media apps. When they shut down TikTok which is a promising challenger to western dominance, they did not consider the profound negative impact in the long run to future investment. The government is short sighted and the business is paying the price. That’s why Koo couldn’t get buyers.

If they build social media apps like what's app, facebook, instagram in India, it will work because through these apps we connect with ours locals and indians. But from tweeter we connect with the world.😢

Its the idea that reaps victory, not a copy. Koo must have searched true indian talents and few western infrastructure. The idea failed.

If India had banned X and went with Koo like China did with weibo, it could have thrived.. But if all decisions are taken by one man or a few then decisions become operational, not strategic like I see how China or even Pakistan ..

Had it been Chinese Gov, they would have baned Twitter and helped Koo raise. It's as much failure on Founders parts as it is on Government. Indian government should support home grown social media. We r 140 cr afterall.

I understand the need for the investment for such things to better the national economy, however, I think there needs more journalism on what truly happened. I mean, I would like to know how such a highly acclaimed start-up lost cash. What were its founders and owners like? How did they manage it? How did they earn money? These questions need to be answered. You cannot expect investors to invest in something based on nationalism. It is unwise to tell Indians to invest like this. I think, though, that it is wise to tell Indians on how better to look out for companies with better prospects which usually should take a whole documentary tbh but I always go out for the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

1. Chinese apps work in China because the govt there shuts down foreign apps. Indian govt allows everything from outside. 2. Indian apps lack originality and tend to just copy and react. To succeed, they need to be actively creative.
