Hallo Launches In India With Agora’s Real-Time Engagement

Hallo, a US-based real-time English learning platform for speaking, has announced its launch in India to help Indians learn English from native teachers and practice speaking with other students from around the world anytime, anywhere. Hallo enables virtual interactions between English students and native English teachers through live and 1-on-1 classes coupled with interest-based English courses and AI proficiency tests to assess progress. Hallo currently has over 200,000 users in India and primarily caters to users from ages 18-35.

Hallo believes that the most effective way to learn English is through real-time engagement with real people. By focusing on human interaction, one can build confidence, overcome the fear of speaking, advance their career, and become fluent while learning how to communicate with others. The app currently has over 1 million students across 150 countries around the world. 

Agora’s technology and APIs empower the main features of Hallo such as live streaming, video calls, and audio calls, which enables its users to connect and interact globally in real-time. 

Hallo is the first real-time, language-learning, social platform in the market and has secured funding of $ 2.4 million from U.S. venture capital firms such as Kickstart, RevRoad, Tamarack, and Dunce Capital.
