TELO is an app that puts users in short audio-AR experiences that make them run in order to escape, survive and/or win them. This makes the experience of running far more fun and engaging than guided lessons available on several other running training apps. It provides users the necessary motivation and keeps them engaged through creative storytelling and engaging smart alerts.

TELO is a new and refreshing take on running apps. I am sure a lot
of people will bene
fi
t from its unique audio-stories based
running experiences. TELO has the potential to give beginners
and returning runners the much needed jump-start and
continued motivation to make running a lifelong habit! I wish the
team the very best on their path to success and would love to
work with them, given the right opportunity...
Ms. PT Usha and the USHA academy are a strategic
partner where TELO would work towards raising
awareness of the academy while also trying to raise funds
via various online and of
fl
ine initiatives. Ms. Usha shall also
be present. (most of them being online.) - agreement is
in place! Happy to share details when necessary!
