India’s fast-growing startup ecosystem has only grown in size in the past decade. New and innovative apps come into the market as swiftly as they leave. This leads to competition, and app builders have to be creative to beat the competition. 


When Facebook ruled the scene, it was revolutionary. But now some of the biggest problems are the low quality of personalized content as well as security problems. For these reasons, people have started to give attention to what might be upcoming. 

Let’s explore some fresh and hot startups that have the potential to break the market.

You might hop on popular social media apps to pass your time, but get bombarded by content that isn’t relevant to you. Or you're seeing it because it is viral. Most of the time this content ends up being junk and a waste of time. 


Knobee aims to be an app where you can connect with your friends and family, share content and view it. All that without the nonsense. It is safe, easy to use, and helps you build internal networks with the ones you know on a personal level called a ‘hive’. Not only that, your friends and family stay in two different realms. 


The aim of the app is to reintroduce social media for an intimate feel. It helps to reach out to your lost relations, keep friends and family in separate spaces. But that's not all. It also lessens the unnecessary content you're forced to consume. 


It can also help you find love and browse for business reasons.

Not only does this boost the usability of the app, but it’s also simple psychology: people just love videos. It catches your attention instantly and retains. Why? Because it’s less complex than reading and more interesting than static pictures.
