“I had alluded to a strategic partnership that would help us grow organically. Over the past few months, we have been talking to multiple partners who could help us achieve this,” Mayank Bidawatka, cofounder, Koo, said in a LinkedIn post.

On LinkedIn, Bidawatka stated, "Our responsibility towards a wider community of stakeholders (users, creators, VIPs, investors, policy makers, media) forces us to not share anything prematurely while we'd like to say more."

"Requesting your patience till we can share more concrete details of this partnership that will help Koo take wings in an organic manner and help challenge global competitors in a meaningful way," he added.

Bidawatka stated that the business was looking for a strategic partner in September of last year.
