<p>In this Episode I speak with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprameyaradhakrishna">Aprameya Radhakrishna</a>, Co-Founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.vokal.in/">Vokal</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.kooapp.com/">Koo</a>, also the Co-Founder of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/taxiforsure-com">TaxiForSure</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Taxi For Sure, Aprameya’s first venture disrupted the ride-sharing industry very early in the day. Eventually, <a href="https://yourstory.com/2015/03/ola-acquires-taxiforsure/">4+ years into operations, it was acquired by Ola in 2015</a>. An exit that gave Aprameya much perspective and learnings, which he carried to his next ventures.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Koo &amp; Vokal are two phenomenal platforms, built for the Expression and Discovery of the Indian Audience. Described by many as India’s answer to Twitter, Koo became the Best Everyday App of 2020 by Play Store only 8 months into launch. At the same time Vokal builds the Indian Human Search as folks continue resorting to the platform with the multiple questions they are curious about in the language of their choice, to receive an answer from another trusted folk on the platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Aprameya has years of experience under his belt, and one may imagine that he has built everything there is to, but he is just getting started, which is what inspired me to theme the Episode as Everyday is Day 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Through the Episode we discuss the following:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>1.
