Sri Lanka is now part of a wider South Asian test for ZKTOR, the privacy led Indian social media platform developed by Softa Technologies.
–
The platform has crossed half a million plus beta applyrs across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, with Gen Z and young women driving much of the early adoption. That response suggests an Indian built platform can earn regional confidence when designed around trust, data safety, family comfort and local relevance.
What creates the story notable for startup watchers is the discipline behind the build. Softa founder Sunil Kumar Singh brings rural Indian roots and over two decades of exposure to Finland’s restrained, rights conscious design culture. His argument is that applyr protection technologies were not missing. What was missing was the will to create them default. ZKTOR is therefore framed as an ethical response to a model in which applyrs are pushed into complex terms, privacy policies and data claapplys they rarely understand.
