We all the Co-Founders hail from small town, and though we now live in metro cities we are always curious to know what is happening in our home town.

There was no source apart from asking from our friends and relative living there, this problem used to tinker in our mind, we always used to discuss this problem among ourselves, and after certain level of discussion we decided to come up with platform that provides local information which is relevant, and hence InUni was conceived.

Industry as we foresee

What do you think the Indian social media industry will look like in the coming years?

regional language content consumption surged ahead of English content consumption in India’s internet ecosystem.

Presently, digital media consumption in Tier-2 towns is ripe for innovative new habit forming products.The user base that makes up the regional language in India grew 41 percent from 2011-16 to reach 234 million users.

The same segment is forecasted to grow to 536 million users in 2021. In comparison, English content consumer are expected to plateu at 199 million users by 2021.. Low-moderate adoption levels of news consumption make this a high growth segment. By 2021, regional language consumption will account for 75% of India’s internet user base.
