BANGALORE, India, Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CitizenChat is a 100% desi user-friendly interface that became operational in October 2016. The COO, Mr. Malli Matla shared the story behind the development of this app. As a person, he was always passionate about innovating and implementing novel ideas. He was amazed by the technological innovation behind WhatsApp. However, with WhatsApp, he couldn't communicate with his family in his native language.

He said, "I thought why can't I type in english and my parents read it in our mother tongue. This gave birth to the idea of live translation in chat where people can type in any language and the recipient can set a language of choice to read that message. This way I want to break the language barrier between people and make the world a global village."
