MUMBAI: POPxo, the digital community for women launches in Marathi, Bangla, Tamil, and Telugu. Each language vertical will have a dedicated team of writers and editors creating female-focused original content (text, video and social). The move is part of POPxo’s strategy to expand their user-base by addressing new audience groups to further strengthen reach and engagement.

POPxo founder and CEO Priyanka Gill, “The next wave of users who come online will be accessing the internet in their native language. There is a massive supply-demand gap for female-focused regional language content. The launch of the POPxo platform in four more languages will address this exciting opportunity and power the next stage of growth for the company.”

It (English and Hindi) has over 39 million MAUs (monthly active users) across all platforms. Every month, the team creates 1500 stories, 80 videos resulting in users spending over 3 million hours consuming POPxo content.

POPxo head of content Ruchira Bose said, “Expanding our language portfolio is key in maintaining a strong growth trajectory for POPxo. Our current data-driven content model is scalable. We will use our learnings in English and Hindi to create and distribute relatable content to our new user groups,”

The company has raised a total of $12m in funding to date. The last investment round was led by Neoplux and OPPO, with participation from existing investors Kalaari Capital, Chiratae Ventures, Summit Media, and GREE Ventures. POPxo launched private label commerce in July 2018.
