What is Kimbho? Days after launching Patajali-BSNL SIM, Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali has once again created a buzz on the internet with the launch of Kimbho – a ‘swadeshi messaging app aimed at giving competition to Whatsapp. Internet users are, however, wondering about the meaning of the word Kimbho. Here’s the answer:
Kimbho, in common Sanskrit parley, is a phrase that is used to ask about someone’s well-being. Kimbho can be said to be the Sanskrit equivalent of ‘Hello, how are you’ or ‘What’s up’.
Patanjali spokesperson explained the meaning of Kimbo in a tweet in Hindi: “Kimbho is used in Sanskrit for asking someone’s well-being. Jike we say – Kimbho bhaiya..means how are you and what is happening? Now India will speak Kimbho, now India will ask …kimbho.”

#किम्भो संस्कृत में हाल-चाल पूछने और खैर-खबर लेने के लिए आम संवाद में प्रयोग होता है जैसे हम बोलते हैं “किम्भो भैया” यानी..क्या हाल है भैया और क्या चल रहा है, क्या खबर है?
