Srinath, said “I am very happy to be backing Koo – one of India’s most talked about social media platforms. I’ve been a part of the platform since last year when Koo Kannada was launched. I understand and value the problem they are trying to solve. India is a diverse country with 1000s of languages and dialects. It’s important to give a platform to all these diverse voices so they can feel heard. The fact that Koo is building a platform like this to bring the voices of Indian language audiences onto the internet is commendable. As an ardent supporter of anything that helps India succeed, I extend my support to them wholeheartedly.”

Aprameya Radhakrishna, chief executive officer and co-founder, Koo said “Javagal Srinath has made India proud on a global stage. I am extremely grateful to him for being a supporter of Koo since the early days and now joining our journey as an investor. He values the problem we are solving for India and is passionate about the possibilities a product like Koo represents. Even in the past, through Global Phoenix Solutions, he has been instrumental in being one of the first people to bring technology into sports. He’s a believer in using technology to solve problems.”

Koo is a mirror of the value of grit that he displayed on the field.
