Speaking about Hibuddy, Rishi Khiani, CEO, Times Internet Ltd, (Indiatimes), said, “Social networking and blogging has seen rapid growth in India. This service will extend the growth for mobile phone users. This will allow users to connect with one another in real time through social interactions on voice, which is a more personal medium. I expect Hibuddy to be the next big thing in social networking and voice blogging in India.”
Hibuddy will offer channels like ‘Shivani Ki Chatpati Duniya’, where people can exchange instant recipes; ‘Kabeer Ka PJ World’, where they can share jokes; catch up on all the gossip at ‘Shweta Ke Gossip Golgappe’; get tips for cars and bikes at ‘Sid Ka Biking World’; and get their dating fundas right at ‘Saurabh Ki Love Ki Pathshala’.
