Problem Statement-Solution

Only 10% of India speaks English and 90% speak over 25 languages and 1000s of dialects. The internet has largely been in English. A good part of India is now getting internet connectivity thanks to cheap smartphones and Network Providers. The non-English speaking internet users will balloon to about 600 million users out of the total 750 million internet users in India. This will make the vernacular segment one of the largest segments in the world - almost 2x the size of the Western population. The vernacular segment has very few products that they can use on the internet. One large human need is that of sharing thoughts and connecting with people of the same community on the basis of language and common interests. There's a large unaddressed need for these vernacular users to express themselves in their mother tongue and connect with others from their community. Our client is a solution to this problem.
