The program is currently available in India and opens up new opportunities for creators across various content genres, including artists, financial experts, fantasy gaming, wellness, comedy, musicians, sports and more.
Koo said it has been testing this feature for the past month with over 20 creators including Rishikaa Singh Chandel, Dr Cric Point, Aartii Naagpal and is now opening it up to creators across the country.
