Enter Riple, an innovative mobile app by two childhood friends from India, making news consumption completely different. Anupam Ghosal, a graduate of Cambridge in business, and Suman Saha, the tech genius behind ParchAI-India’s leading indoor navigation company, recognized a dire problem that needed to be solved. Anupam felt how his peers were being overwhelmed by extensive news reports and misinformation on social media, which seems to become a recurring problem in our fast-moving world with dwindling attention spans.
Their solution? Riple.
This innovative application allows you to have news in fragments, each of them strictly under 100 words.
AI for Accuracy, Humans for Trust
Suman Saha built the AI engine running Riple. This AI searches for the most relevant stories on the web from credible sources and condenses them into short summaries. A lot more is in store, however, than convenience with Riple. Unlike social media platforms ridden with misinformation, Riple focuses on factually correct information.
The application uses advanced AI technology and a dedicated team of human moderators to ensure it delivers reliable information to users. It ensures you get news in double quick time, accurate, and perfect for information-starved, yet time-starved, lifestyles.
Breaking the News Barrier
Traditional news sources can sometimes be overwhelming. Riple cuts through that noise and makes news approachable and digestible. Since its inception last October, Riple has managed to attract a base of loyal users- over 300,000 users across the US and the UK. Most remarkably, it has also garnered 100,000 daily active users in a matter of months. Organic traction on that level speaks to the strength of the product.
Beyond user growth, Riple is also having success. This is an application handpicked for the prestigious DisruptX Accelerator program and ensured funding from the best investors in town, who believe in its cause. Early on, it was Prashant Waghmare from Yuvidigital, a pre-seed investor known for sniffing out disruptive startups. Further on, notable venture capitalists underlined Riple’s potential. But the highest achievement? It has ensnared a generation that generally stays away from the news because of its complexity. One user exclaimed, “This is the best news app ever! It got me reading news for the first time.”
Bite-Sized: The Future of News
The future indeed looks brilliant for Riple. Advanced features targeting personalized recommendations that will make news content more relevant to the preferences of particular persons are in development for the next Riple+, update. The team at Riple has also successfully acquired early adopters of the product and is now focusing on scaling up its reach to ensure the app is available to many people.
