What is the Koo App which, though launched earlier, has come into prominence in September 2021?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. A social media platform.
The Koo App, an Indian microblogging platform, was launched in March 2020. While it gained some initial recognition by winning the government's Atmanirbhar App Innovation Challenge in August 2020, it truly came into prominence in early 2021. This surge in popularity was largely due to a standoff between the Indian government and Twitter, which led many government officials and prominent personalities to endorse and migrate to Koo as a "made-in-India" alternative. While it had a significant rise, it's worth noting that the platform announced its shutdown in July 2024.
