The rise and fall of Koo, India’s once-thriving Twitter alternative

The microblogging platform — India’s first in over 10 languages — went from booming international expansion to near closure in just four years.

The microblogging platform — India’s first in over 10 languages — went from booming international expansion to near closure in just four years. When Mukul joined Indian microblogging startup Kooi in early 2023, he was eager to work with the roughly 300-member team building India’s answer to X (previously Twitter). He was hired to work on different features on the app, including revamping parts of the homepage. Mukul hoped his career would skyrocket along with the company’s growth.

Mukul wasn’t spared: In June, he was asked to leave, just six months after joining the company.

Sectors of the economy that depend on access to land go into recession, and any game features that depend on it become unfun for everybody except the elite few who bought in early.
