On Wednesday, co-founders Aprameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidawatka penned a heartfelt note announcing the discontinuation of the platform’s services.

In a LinkedIn post, Radhakrishna and Bidawatka revealed that efforts to secure partnerships with larger internet companies, conglomerates, and media houses did not yield the desired outcomes. “We explored partnership with multiple larger internet companies, conglomerates, and media houses but these talks didn’t yield the outcome we wanted,” the note stated.
