Microsoft today launched a new smartphone app called Kaizala. Microsoft Kaizala is meant for organizations and businesses to conduct group communications and manage work easily. Microsoft Kaizala is available for both iOS and Android users for free. Additionally, Kaizala Pro, the paid version for enterprises was also launched yesterday.

Every file shared within the group, particularly action cards can be commented on, liked, and shared by users. Groups created in Kaizala have a unique feature of adding members in bulk. Also, the limit of members in one group can go up to millions, as said by Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India. 

Aimed at a mobile-centric world, Maheshwari clarifies that Kaizala is different from existing platforms like Microsoft Teams and Office 365. Both of these products are desktop friendly, and aimed at businesses respectively. Keeping India’s poor internet connectivity in mind, Kaizala is optimized to work offline and on 2G network as well. Maheshwari also says that this is a ‘Made for India’ product, and there are no plans for a global launch yet.

Speaking about Microsoft Kaizala Pro, it can be purchased at a price of Rs 130 per month. It comes with more features like user and group management, system integration and automation using Microsoft Kaizala APIs. Users can also perform advanced reporting and analytics, publish custom actions, create public groups and more.
