Desh Keyboards is a highly successful portfolio of vernacular keyboard apps (Hindi, Bangla, Kannada, etc.) with massive verifiable traction (73M+ cumulative installs on Google Play). While the submission itself was low-effort (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), external due diligence confirms it is a market leader in the Indian regional language space. The project demonstrates exceptional reach and utility, though technical innovation is moderate (standard transliteration/wrapper technology). The 'marketcap' figure provided (500,000) is ambiguous and likely inaccurate given the user scale. The team size (125) appears high for an unfunded startup, possibly including contractors. Despite the poor response quality, the sheer volume of users drives a high PoU score.
