TELO is what you get when “Calm" meets “Pokemon Go” and point it to serve people who do not have any healthy fitness habits. We use audio-AR tech/content that allows users to run with immersive audio stories where they play the lead character having to run away from or towards something/one.

17. Path to 100K WAUs - 01
- 250K active users using running coaches, SM in
fl
uencers and comedians from Instagram;
- 500K+ active users from integration with platforms:
- Audio streaming platforms - Spotify (India), Gaana, Jio Saavn (if feasible) - “walk/run while you listen!”**
- Vernacular Audio book platforms - Pratilipi FM, Pocket FM - “walk/run while you listen!”**
- Build functionality that would drive virality
- Ability to get friends/family to cheer for you when you run - achieves two things:
1. Gives the runner the necessary motivation when they run and
2. Exposes the app to potential users who are cheering others and see them achieve results, thereby motivating them
to join the network too;
- Use (non-copyright material) Bollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Hollywood movie/cinema dialogues to bring in an
element of fun and surprise for the runners;
