One of the things that we are working on is text first. It’s like a WhatsApp group like experience but in an open community. Whatsapp groups are for known people who you can add through their phone numbers, but if you are interested in talking about a match for instance, there will be chat rooms that will enable discussions on it. It will be a WhatsApp group kind of an experience. Then there will be Video lives. Those are rooms that we want to enable for some of the most important folks of India to create and have discussions with their followers.”
