TIMES OF INDIA - Feb 15 - Clubhouse's popularity in India has thrown the spotlight on the Made-in-India live discussions app Leher. Available on both iOS and Android, Leher supports audio and video and says its organic downloads are doubling every week and is now at around 1.5 lakh. The app has also seen a surge in interest from Indian and global entrepreneurs looking to back its growth as a formidable local alternative to Clubhouse, and talks are on for closing a funding round. Launched in 2018, Leher facilitates debates and discussion within a limited group via audio and video, has private and public chat rooms, and supports both ephemeral and recorded conversations. Currently, the average time spent by users on Leher is roughly 15 mins per day, and the average discussion session is around 110 mins.
