Why is Duolingo Collaborating With India’s Most Viral Meme Creators?

How Duolingo Turned Two Viral Internet Personalities Into Its Latest Marketing Masterstroke?

Duolingo India has built a reputation for doing marketing differently. Instead of relying on traditional celebrity endorsements, the language-learning platform often taps into internet culture, viral trends, and creators who already dominate social media conversations. Its latest collaborations with two of Instagram’s most recognizable viral personalities – the “Bro” kid Suvam and Tamil creator Reji Annan Salem, popularly known as “Gangeyyy” – perfectly showcase that strategy. Both creators come from very different corners of the internet, yet they share one important quality: almost everyone scrolling Instagram knows them.

Who is The Viral “Bro” Kid?

Suvam, known online through @suvamvlogs77, became a viral sensation thanks to his simple yet unforgettable delivery of the word “bro.” What started as casual content quickly transformed into one of Instagram’s biggest meme formats.

His innocent expressions, natural reactions, and relatable personality helped him gain millions of views across platforms. Soon, creators, brands, and meme pages began recreating and remixing his content.

Recognizing his massive recall value among younger audiences, Duolingo featured Suvam in a campaign that blended his iconic “bro” persona with the brand’s playful social media voice. The collaboration felt less like an advertisement and more like the type of content audiences already enjoy sharing online.
