New Delhi, Delhi, India | 23rd March 2020: With the entire nation coming together to fight off Corona and showing their gratitude to the heroes of our country who are selflessly serving the corona patients, BIGO LIVE, a leading global live streaming platform, on Janta curfew spread their love to corona warriors through their campaign #WeAreThankful. The entire country was moved when our hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his heartwarming speech, on how we as fellow countrymen can do our bit by social distancing and spreading our gratitude on the day of Janta curfew to those men and women fighting bravely with the COVID 19 that has taken a grasp of the whole world.
BIGO LIVE family, on Sunday got together on their live streaming platform with a common cover pic & a gratitude message that said #WeAreThankful. This was an activity created by the app where they motivated its users to go Live and pay their thanks towards the services given by hundreds of thousands people helping India to fight with this dangerous disease. On this call many of the content creators of BIGO LIVE went live on app sharp at 5 pm as the event began, and paid their gratitude and at the same time motivated their followers to do the same and urged them to come together as a society and support each other. All these broadcasters on their live streams, stood up and cheered for the medical, aviation & police forces & all those real life hero’s who have been working, round the clock so that the general audience can stay safe and healthy.
Over hundreds of Bigo Live broadcasters continued streaming for the duration of one hour, who are having fans over millions. It was an iconic event for the entire Singapore based BIGO family to see how such small effort on everyone’s part can make up such a huge difference and thereby reaching out to over millions of people through their gesture. This platform not only gave an opportunity to showcase they are thankful for what the government has decided, but also supports the lower income groups who are sacrificing their livelihoods for the safety of others and it’s because of ‘Bigo LIVE’ that people can make that choice and difference. BIGO LIVE wanted to share its online space by bringing people together for one common cause. People on this period of self-quarantine are coming up with all kinds of ways to keep up their spirits and BIGO LIVE is proud to be able to give them a medium to stay connected with other people.
