In just **48 hours after its launch in Brazil, the homegrown microblogging platform Koo App reported receiving over 1 million downloads.** By expanding the app's availability to new nations and debuting in other [international](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85496/celebration-of-international-chocolate-day) languages, **Twitter rival Koo** hopes to further solidify its position on the [world stage](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/93510/what-image-of-china-appears-on-the-world-stage-after-being-defeated-by-india).

The statement comes as **Twitter** has been taken over by billionaire [Elon Musk](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85512/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-two-business-tycoon-of-similar-age), who has fired numerous people and implemented [significant changes](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/115357/what-significant-changes-have-been-made-to-immigration-laws-in-major-countries-this-week). In a statement on Monday, Koo stated that '**India's multilingual microblogging platform, Koo App**, was launched in Brazil with the inclusion of the Portuguese language, making it available in 11 native languages presently.'

According to Koo, the site garnered a 'tremendous response' from Brazilian users within 48 hours of its launch, with over 1 million downloads. For the past four days, Koo has held the top rank on both the Apple [App Store](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2221/apple-s-new-ad-tax-on-the-app-store-is-a-clear-jab-at-meta) and the Android [Play Store](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1784/the-app-permission-list-would-be-restored-soon-by-google-on-play-store), it continued. According to the statement, 'Koo has recently witnessed 2 million Koos and 10 million likes within 48 hours, by users in Brazil alone.'

Koo is an open platform for language-based self-expression. **Aprameya Radhakrishna, CEO and co-founder of Koo**, said the support is evidence that the platform is resolving an issue for native language-speaking customers not only in India but also internationally.

Koo reported earlier this month that the [application](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12824/calculator-application-in-android)'s [cumulative](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/446/how-to-get-cumulative-frequency-in-sql-server) downloads had surpassed the **50 million (5 crore) milestone.** The platform was introduced in early 2020 with the intention of competing with **Twitter** and other existing microblogging services.

Indians can express themselves online in their mother tongues thanks to this multilingual microblogging application. Koo is presently offered in ten different languages.
