Meet Swell, an asynchronous social audio platform for meaningful discussions

Thanks to the novel coronavirus pandemic, the world has seen the rise of a new form of social networking, spurred by drop-in social audio apps like Clubhouse, which sparked the rise of similar services from companies like Facebook and Twitter.

Last week, another voice-based social platform called Swell made its way to India. The company launched its new audio powered service in the country, offering users a platform to share their content on the web, with features like public ‘Swellcasts’ (a short podcast, or a structured audio conversation) and invite-only groups for voice-based conversations with friends and family. The service also allows users to send private messages to each other on the platform.
