With over 50+ million downloads 'VidStatus' is the leading vernacular languages content platform & social network in India. We are building a social platform for the masses of 'Bharat' in their own languages. We are developing a product which delivers a localized user experience even to the first time internet users of India. The problem, in a nutshell, is to understand the needs and requirements of the diverse vernacular audience for which not much work has been done so far in the industry.
