Amitabh Kant, CEO of NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) joined Koo recently. NITI Aayog is a policy think tank of the Government of India, created to achieve sustainable development goals by fostering the involvement of State Governments of India in the economic policy-making process.
Amitabh Kant is a celebrated IAS Officer of the batch of 1980. He holds
various other positions in the Government apart from being the CEO of NITI
Aayog. He has been recognized as one of the world's 50 most
influential people revolutionizing governance by Apolitical, a global
government learning platform. He’s also been featured as one of the 45
celebrated Indians by India Today and the Administrator of the Year Award by
NDTV. He’s the man behind some of the most well-known campaigns and initiatives
such as ‘God’s Own Country’, ‘AtithiDevoBhavah’, ‘Made in India’ and ‘Startup India’ among many others.
Koo has attracted many prominent faces of India to the platform since the last few months. These include Union Ministers and Chief Ministers, Bollywood Actors, Actresses, Directors, Sports Personalities, Top Indian bureaucrats and members of the armed forces, among many other distinguished personalities. It’s common to see these prominent figures engage with users everyday on Koo.
Many celebrities and prominent personalities have got anywhere between 2x-100x the number of followers here in a very short span of time. They are seen Kooing in multiple Indian languages catering to unique audiences that aren’t seen on Twitter. This stands true to the proposition that Koo has been building around – the power of vernacular languages in India’s internet.
