History

Established in July 2014, under the aegis of Relevant E-solutions Pvt. Ltd., Roposo is the brainchild of three IIT Delhi alumni – Mayank Bhangadia, Avinash Saxena and Kaushal Shubhank. Roposo was positioned initially as a fashion social network and later introduced its version 2.0, Roposo - TV by the People. The company is headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

In November 2019, Roposo was acquired by InMobi's Glance Digital Experience Pvt. Ltd.(the mobile content platform and part of the InMobi Group).[5]

When the Chinese-owned video-sharing app Tiktok was banned on 30 June, 2020, the app saw a huge spike in users with several TikTok users registering on Roposo.[6]

Technology

The open platform has some features such as a TV-like browsing,[7] different channels, a chat feature that lets buyers and sellers converse directly through the platform, and creation tools such as an option to add voice-over, music and GIF stickers for videos and photos.[8] Apple, an American multinational technology company, featured Roposo in their Indian Independence Day special edition in August 2016.
