Sudha K Varadarajan and Arish Ali had earlier founded San Francisco-based Skava, a company that scaled up to profitable growth and made a $120 million exit to Infosys. The duo then explored the audio and voice space and just launched Swell, an asynchronous audio social media platform, in India.
Within weeks of the Android launch, the invite-only platform has reached over two million users base. Clubhouse, however, did not disclose the number of users it has in India.
