With the intense spat erupting between the Centre and microblogging site Twitter over blocking of certain accounts, a new app has found a way to prominence -- Koo.
The 'desi' version of Twitter co-founded by Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidwatka has been in the spotlight, with several politicians and ministers nudging the microblogging site.
The app launched in early 2020 garnered attention by winning the government's Atmanirbhar App Innovation Challenge. Following the outcome of the Atmanirbhar App Innovation Challenge, the app was also mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Mann Ki Baat address.
