Koo To Open Development Center In Hyderabad
On July 20, 2022, the multilingual social media platform Koo announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Telangana government to open a development centre.
With Hyderabad being an IT hub with access to a robust technology ecosystem and a large pool of IT talent, Koo anticipates significant growth in the region, according to a release.
The Telangana government will collaborate with Koo on the use of Telugu to increase reach among non-English speakers in the state as part of this MoU.
According to the statement, the collaboration will also promote the rich legacy and heritage of Telugu as a language, as well as Telangana’s distinct culture.
According to the statement, the development centre will tap into local talent and promote synergies with state stakeholders.
Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao said at the signing ceremony, “By collaborating with Koo, we hope that our efforts to connect and engage with citizens for disseminating Telangana government information and services will be augmented further.”
Koo co-founder and CEO Aprameya Radhakrishna stated, “Language-based social media is essential, particularly in a multilingual country like India.
We are deeply honoured and privileged to work with the Telangana government to advance our mission of empowering voices through digital freedom of expression.
The Hyderabad development centre will be a critical enabler in this mission.”
Koo, a multilingual microblogging platform, debuted in March 2020 and is currently available in ten languages.
The platform’s unique features include a translation feature that allows for real-time translation of a post across a variety of languages while retaining the sentiment and context of the original text, according to the release.
