Interesting to see Microsoft target Asian markets with a hybrid of Slack and WhatsApp business πŸ’ΌπŸ’¬

@amrith how does this specifically target Asian markets?
Amrith
@anna_0x since this is mobile-first I think they're doubling down on focusing on India and Asia mainly. Lot of major Indian companies and even the railway authorities are adapting this: https://news.microsoft.com/en-in...

@amrith @anna_0x Looking at the URL, it's in the "en-in" market (India). If you change the URL to "en-us" to see it in their US geo, it's not there. So definitely looks like a product targeted for specific regions, at least India if not more broadly the Asian market.

@trevin oops, nice catch. I didn't even notice that (mobile browser)!

@amrith I see, thanks for the link!

Is the app name derived from "Kai Jhala?" (Marathi)? The English translation for "Kai Jhala" means "What Happened", very much what the app does I guess

I am using Kaizala for last three months. I run a group with 500 odd people, and it is ready to go big. It is one of the best messaging apps both for private and team use. The number of users it can hold in a group is just remarkable. In every respect, it is better than the alternatives for me. Some of the top features include no storage limits, functional design, end-to-end encrypted chats, extra functionality like cards where one can add training module, polls, quiz, and many more.

Pros:

From simple messaging to creating groups/channels. A complete communication app. Simple, can hold a huge number of members

Cons:

Nothing negative about it till date.

Interesting to see how Microsoft will position this is product compared to what they already have (Teams, Group Me...). This looks like a WeChat/Telegram competitor.

That's the Microsoft's UX UI level? Very disappointing.

Has some neat features built in that if your on office 365 I'm sure it's even more awesome. For everyone else I'm not sure. Android app seems solid, quick and logical.

Tasks planner looks interesting. Could potentially even see it competing with trello with an integration into 365 & outlook.

I was wondering what's the value prop of Kaizala when you compare it with other apps (both network and internet based)? Apologies, if this has already been explained somewhere.

Why is the name so weird? (Hard to spell. Autocorrects to crap.)
