In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s repeated calls for India’s youth and entrepreneurs to develop indigenous technology platforms, Explurger - a social media app entirely conceptualized and built in India - is emerging as a flagship of the nation’s digital self-reliance. With its innovative approach, Explurger is rapidly expanding its reach, inspiring millions of users worldwide to engage in meaningful exploration and social interaction.
During his Independence Day address on August 15, 2025, and again on September 21, PM Modi urged innovators to create homegrown digital solutions that showcase India’s talent, strengthen the country’s presence in the global technology arena, and foster a sense of national pride. Explurger has risen to meet this vision, serving as a shining example of how Indian innovation can be both globally competitive and culturally rooted.
Co-founded by Bollywood actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood alongside industry visionary Jitin Bhatia, Explurger represents a fusion of creativity, innovation, and social purpose. The platform goes beyond conventional social media norms by encouraging users to explore the real world rather than passively scrolling. Each check-in, trip, or shared experience contributes to a personalized digital travelogue, combining real-world discovery with meaningful social interaction. This approach reflects the platform’s core philosophy: social media should inspire action, curiosity, and connection, not just consumption.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Sonu Sood described Explurger as a reflection of India’s creativity, capability, and confidence in the digital domain. “Explurger is more than a social app - it is a statement that Indian innovation can inspire, connect, and compete globally,” he said.
“Explurger was built entirely in India, powered by Indian minds, and designed for a global audience,” said Jitin Bhatia, Founder and CEO. “The Prime Minister’s call for self-reliant innovation strengthens our belief in India’s talent. Our mission is to prove that Indian technology can set global benchmarks while reflecting our cultural ethos and values.”
Aligned with the Make in India and Digital India initiatives, Explurger demonstrates India’s growing technological maturity. At a time when debates around data privacy, digital addiction, and cultural identity dominate social media discourse, Explurger offers a refreshing alternative - a locally developed platform that is socially meaningful, globally relevant, and encourages users to engage with their surroundings.
Explurger’s rapid growth - over 17 million users in 75 countries - is a testament to its unique appeal. By blending curiosity, imagination, and real-world engagement, the platform fosters genuine connections while celebrating the resilient spirit of Bharat. Its users are not just participants in a digital network; they are explorers, storytellers, and contributors to a shared narrative of discovery and community.
Beyond technology, Explurger represents a broader vision: the empowerment of Indian innovators to create solutions with global impact, while remaining deeply rooted in the country’s cultural and social fabric. Each feature, design element, and user experience reflects a commitment to quality, originality, and purpose - demonstrating that Indian digital platforms can lead on the global stage without compromising local identity.
As Explurger continues to expand and engage audiences worldwide, it stands as a symbol of India’s digital sovereignty, creativity, and innovation. The platform is not merely participating in the global digital revolution; it is leading it, inspiring the next generation of Indian innovators to build homegrown solutions with pride, vision, and purpose. Explurger is India’s statement to the world: that a Made-in-Bharat platform can set new standards, connect communities, and define the future of digital exploration.
