No more cooing: India’s own Twitter alternative Koo calls it quits

Koo, the Indian social media platform that emerged as a contender to X (formerly Twitter), is shutting down due to financial difficulties and an unpredictable market environment. The decision marks the end of a four-year journey which included significant achievements but ultimately became constrained by economic challenges. The news was shared by founders Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidawatka in a “goodbye” post on LinkedIn on Wednesday.
