About This App

Daakia is run by Daakia Private Limited, incorporated on 19 August 2020 (CIN U72900WB2020PTC239021, Registrar of Companies, Kolkata) and currently Active on the MCA register. Its registered office is B 18/8, Karunamoyee Housing Estate, Sector II, Salt Lake City, Kolkata, West Bengal 700091 — the same address Google Play shows in the app's "About the developer" panel, alongside contact@daakia.co.in and an Indian phone number. Two directors are on record, Bhawana Mitra (DIN 08839570, appointed at incorporation) and Animesh Kumar (DIN 09498089, appointed February 2022); a third, Ankit Kumar, ceased in September 2022. Confusingly, the company's own Contact page lists its HQ as Diwakar Bhavan, Residency Road, Bengaluru 560025, while its LinkedIn page still says Kolkata and puts headcount at 2-10 — so it is a small team, and the two published addresses do not agree. A warning worth reading before you search for it: an unrelated courier-franchise business also trades as "Daakia" at daakia.com. This entry is about daakia.co.in, the communication platform, and nothing on this page refers to the courier company. The product is a video conferencing platform first, with messaging alongside. Its distinguishing feature is language: an AI translation engine provides real-time captioning and message translation, so a participant can type or speak in one language and the other side reads it in theirs — a differentiator none of Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams offers as a first-class, built-in feature at this price. Beyond that it is a conventional feature set: screen sharing, whiteboard, breakout rooms, raise hand, in-call chat and emojis, background filters, noise and echo cancellation, recording, and webinar and live-streaming support on the higher tiers. Clients exist for Android, iOS, web and desktop, and the company also publishes SDK/integration paths for Flutter, React Native, PHP, Angular and React. Pricing is published on daakia.co.in/pricing: Bronze is free (100 participants, 45 minutes), Silver Rs 799 a month, Gold Rs 1,150 and Platinum Rs 1,699, with 15% off annual billing and quote-only enterprise plans. On Google Play the main app, "Daakia: Meetings & Webinar" (package com.app.daakia), has 100,000+ installs and a 4.5 rating from 483 ratings, with a build last updated 3 July 2026. The iOS side is much newer and much thinner: a separate listing, also called "Daakia: Meetings & Webinar" (com.app.daakiavc), has only 3 ratings, and a companion chat app, "Konnect: Chat & Collaborate" (com.daakia.chat), has 1. Review volume is the real weakness here — of roughly 150 Play reviews retrievable, only seven are three stars or below, and the most recent of those dates to July 2024, so there is very little recent critical feedback to weigh.

Based on 6 of 7 factors

Honest Review

4.5/5 on Google Play Store, "Daakia: Meetings & Webinar" (com.app.daakia) — JSON-LD aggregateRating 4.5 from 483 ratings, 100,000+ installs, verified 9 August 2026. The iOS listing (com.app.daakiavc) has only 3 ratings, too few to report. · Last verified 2026-08-09

What works well

  • +Built-in AI live translation and real-time captioning is a genuine differentiator — Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams do not offer cross-language chat and captioning as a standard, included feature at this price point
  • +A usable free tier: Bronze allows 100 participants for 45 minutes with screen sharing, noise cancellation and encryption, which is comparable to Zoom's free plan rather than a token trial
  • +Published, itemised INR pricing on daakia.co.in/pricing — Rs 799 Silver, Rs 1,150 Gold, Rs 1,699 Platinum per month, with 15% off annual, so there is no "contact sales" wall for standard plans
  • +Fully traceable Indian company — Daakia Private Limited, CIN U72900WB2020PTC239021, incorporated August 2020 at ROC Kolkata, Active, with two named Indian directors and a registered address that matches the Play Store developer record exactly
  • +Actively maintained, with the Android build updated 3 July 2026 and fresh iOS listings shipped in July and August 2026
  • +Cross-platform coverage plus developer integration paths — Android, iOS, web and desktop clients, with published SDK routes for Flutter, React Native, PHP, Angular and React

What needs improvement

  • -Very thin critical review data. Of roughly 150 Play reviews retrievable, only seven are rated three stars or below and the newest of those is from July 2024 — so the 4.5 average rests on a review pool with almost no recent negative signal to test it against
  • -The iOS presence is effectively brand new and unproven: the current App Store listing has 3 ratings and the companion chat app has 1, and the earlier Android listing was replaced rather than continued
  • -Two different headquarters are published — the Contact page says Residency Road, Bengaluru, while the MCA record, the Play Store developer panel and LinkedIn all say Salt Lake City, Kolkata
  • -Small team. LinkedIn lists 2-10 employees, which is a real consideration if you are evaluating it for enterprise deployment, uptime commitments or long-term support
  • -"End-to-end encryption" is asserted on both the website and the Play listing, but no named datacenter, hosting region, security audit or third-party certification is published to back it — take the claim as unverified
  • -The homepage advertises a 99.9% uptime guarantee and sub-100ms latency with no status page, SLA document or published measurement to support either figure
  • -Chat has been split into a separate app (Konnect), so the "one app for everything" promise on the About page no longer matches how the products actually ship

Common user complaints

  • !"Some messages not sent probably then more distance 😔" (3-star, Google Play, 17 July 2024)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Daakia an Indian company?

Yes. Daakia Private Limited was incorporated on 19 August 2020 under CIN U72900WB2020PTC239021 at the Registrar of Companies, Kolkata, and is Active on the MCA register. Its registered office is B 18/8, Karunamoyee Housing Estate, Sector II, Salt Lake City, Kolkata, West Bengal 700091 — the identical address Google Play publishes in the app's developer panel. Its two current directors, Bhawana Mitra and Animesh Kumar, are both Indian, and its contact page lists Indian phone numbers and a Bengaluru office. Note that a completely unrelated courier-franchise business also uses the name Daakia at daakia.com; that is a different company.

What does Daakia cost?

As published on daakia.co.in/pricing: Bronze is free and allows 100 participants for 45 minutes with screen sharing, noise cancellation and end-to-end encryption. Silver is Rs 799 a month for 150 participants, 12-hour meetings, 5 GB storage, whiteboard, webinar support and meeting recording. Gold is Rs 1,150 a month for 200 participants, 24-hour meetings, 10 GB storage and voice transcription. Platinum is Rs 1,699 a month for 300 participants, 15 GB storage, live streaming and international calling. Annual billing is advertised at 15% off, and enterprise plans are quote-only.

How does Daakia compare to Zoom or Google Meet?

The one thing Daakia does that the incumbents do not is language. Its AI translation engine provides real-time captioning and translated chat as a built-in, standard feature, so participants can each work in their own language — useful for multilingual Indian teams, classrooms and customer calls. On free-tier limits it is roughly comparable to Zoom: 100 participants for 45 minutes. Where it loses is maturity and evidence. Zoom and Meet have published security audits, status pages and compliance certifications; Daakia asserts end-to-end encryption and a 99.9% uptime guarantee without publishing a datacenter location, an SLA or an audit to back either. It is also a 2-10 person team, which matters if you are buying for an organisation.

Is Daakia secure and is my data stored in India?

Daakia states on both its website and its Play Store listing that chats, media, recordings and personal information are protected by end-to-end encryption with a private key known only to the user. That is the company's own claim. What it does not publish is where the data physically sits — there is no named datacenter, no stated hosting region, no security audit and no third-party certification such as a MeitY empanelment or STQC certificate anywhere on the public site. If data residency in India is a hard requirement for your organisation, ask them directly and get it in writing rather than relying on the marketing copy.

What is Daakia's app rating?

The Android app (com.app.daakia) has 4.5 out of 5 from 483 ratings with 100,000+ installs, and was last updated 3 July 2026. Read that figure with care: of roughly 150 reviews retrievable from the listing, only seven are three stars or lower and the most recent of those dates to July 2024, so there is very little recent critical feedback in the pool. The iOS side is newer and far smaller — the current App Store listing has 3 ratings and the companion Konnect chat app has 1.
