After shocking the Indian smartphone owners by launching the “swadeshi” SIM card in partnership with BSNL, Yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali has launched a messaging app named Kimbho.
Kimbho has been created by Patanjali to compete with Facebook-owned WhatsApp. This desi app’s tagline is “Ab Bharat Bolega,” which translates into “Now India Will Speak” in English.
Launching the app, Patanjali’s spokesperson SK Tijarawala called it India’s #SwadeshiMessagingplatform. “Now Bharat will speak. After launching SIM cards, Baba Ramdev has launched a new messaging application called Kimbho. Now Whats App will be given competition,” he added.
Baba Ramdev’s messaging app contains all the necessary features one will expect from a modern chatting application.
One can use it to chat privately as well as create groups. There’s a functionality of making phone and video calls as well. Other features include audio, photo, video, location, GIF, doodle, and sticker sharing.
Kimbho is available both on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The app’s description further mentions that it’s “100 % FREE, SECURE and No Ads.” It also says that every message is encrypted by AES and “we save no data on our servers or cloud.”
