History

Troop Messenger was originally conceived and developed by Tvisha Systems Pvt Ltd, a Hyderabad based tech company founded by Sudhir Naidu.[3] It was begun as an internal communication tool to connect Tvisha's internal teams, customers and vendors.[4][5][6]

Later, with the rising popularity and use cases, the product scope was expanded and was made available to the global public in the year 2018, on Tvisha Systems Pvt Ltd.[7][8][9]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Troop Messenger saw a major increase in usage for remote work, distance education, and online social relations.[10]

Troop Messenger is popular with Defence and other industries for whom data security is paramount and which operate in isolated private networks (Air-Gapped Facilities - those which are not connected to the Internet).[3]
