She's India's "First" Twitter User. What She Thinks About Musk's Takeover

Naina Redhu is an active Twitter user and her profile also has a blue tick, which has been a major topic of discussion these days as Musk had said that if users want a blue tick, they will have to pay USD 8 i.e. about Rs 650 monthly fee.

With Tesla CEO Elon Musk's recent takeover of Twitter, there has been much talk about the changes that will be coming to the micro-blogging site following its acquisition. However, amidst all this, India's first Twitter user has some thoughts to share about the platform's evolution and the new changes.

In the era of Orkut and blogging when Twitter was not officially launched, a girl got an email in 2006 from TWTTR (code name of the Twitter project) to join a new platform. She joined it and became the first Indian Twitter user before the platform's official launch.

That girl was Naina Redhu, who currently works in a hotel in Jaisalmer and has done about 1,75,000 tweets till now. ANI spoke to her and learned how much Twitter has changed since the time she joined and what she feels about the changes following Elon Musk's acquisition.

"I remember, I had received an invitation through e-mail from Twitter and at the time it was named TWTTR, now the spelling has changed. I joined it thinking let's sign up and explore, it was just a coincidence and I had no idea that it will become such a big platform in future," said Naina Redhu as she recalled the time she first joined the platform.
