Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel Wednesday launched the Gujarati version of Indian multilingual micro-blogging site 'Koo', which enables people to share content and connect with others using their mother tongue.
The made-in-India micro-blogging site aims to provide tools to the people to connect and express their opinion in their language, its co-founder Mayank Bidawatka told PTI after the launch event in the capital Gandhinagar.
"We started because a lot of the social platforms that Indians use are predominantly in English. Ninety per cent of our country does not speak English, and these users are now coming online. When a lot of these users who have come online speak some native Indian languages, they are looking for content in that Indian language," Mr Bidawatka said.
The Koo platform provides tools whereby such users, now coming online in a large number, can speak, write, record an audio or a video in his or her own native language and submit it, he said.
