The microblogging platform KOO that shot to fame following some ministers joining the platform has been surrounded with questions about its link with China. While the company has cleared the air about Chinese investments in its parent company - Bombinate Technologies Pvt Ltd., it hasn't clarified details around the domain registration.

Hailed to be an Indian alternative of Twitter, KOO has been co-founded by entrepreneurs Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidwatka. The parent company is Bombinate Technologies Pvt Ltd that launched Vokal, the Indian version of Quora. The company recently received an investment of $4.1 million led by 3one4 Capital, which is an Indian investor. China-based Shunwei Capital had earlier invested in the company for Vokal. However, Shunwei did not participate in the latest round of funding. Instead, Shunwei (single-digit shareholder) will be exiting fully with the new investors buying their stake.

Existing investors including 3one4 Capital, Kalaari and others will also be buying out some of the stakes. Refuting news about the investment from China in the company, KOO said, "A set of Indian entrepreneurs are seen to be investing in Koo with Ashish Hemrajani from BookMyShow, Vivekananda from Bounce, Nikhil Kamat of Zerodha amongst various others entering the cap table of the company. It is a clear indication that the company is getting more and more Indian money into the company."

Having a Chinese investor isn't a problem as long as he doesn't have admin access. Also, Koo CEO has already stated that the Chinese investor's stake will be purchased back and that the Chinese guy will exit from the company.

 

The ethical hacker "Elliot Alderson" has been completely exposed by another hacker here

 

Elliot Alderson has blocked the guy who exposed his claims of Koo being "unsafe". This ethical hacker has a hate-boner for Modi as well and was claiming that he'll expose Modi etc

 

It's just a hitjob done by leftists who are trying to stop Right Wingers from going to Koo.

I was trying to troll/joke.

 

I meant why would anyone want to go to UP.

do you know the population of UP and how many migrant leaving in another state. How would they go back there and you are saying as if UP is some Iraq/Pakistan. It's much better than bombay where they beat up people from other state on name of regionalism.
