O hi, a pioneering social networking app enhancing real-life human interaction through digital rooms in cafés, airports, and hotels, has secured INR 8 Crores (1 million dollars) in Pre-Series A funding. The funding round was led by existing investors JIIF, with participation from prominent angel investors.
O hi has demonstrated rapid growth, boasting a user base exceeding one million this quarter. Encouraged by its success, the Welsh Government has invited O hi to launch in the UK, slated for July 2024, providing substantial support to facilitate market penetration.
The app creates digital chatrooms in third spaces, fostering real-world communities. With this funding, O hi plans to enhance its product and introduce an AI-based profiling system aimed at revolutionizing content virality. The team aims for aggressive growth, having doubled its user base in just 45 days, previously achieved over 24 months.
Central to O hi’s strategy is the introduction of the Real Life Fame tick feature, generating significant anticipation with a waiting list exceeding 200,000 eager users. This feature aims to redefine social media engagement beyond traditional metrics, promising new value propositions for users and businesses alike.
Adeeti and Rupal, founders of O hi, expressed their vision: “O hi is not just a social networking platform; we’re reshaping real-world human connections. Our AI-driven ecosystem aims to revolutionize content virality across platforms like Instagram and YouTube, delivering substantial ROI for global businesses and brands.”
With this funding, O hi is poised to accelerate its global expansion and deepen AI integration. The UK launch marks a pivotal step towards establishing O hi as a leader in the global social app market, promising transformative innovations in social networking and content engagement.
