Reasons for Shutdown

Poor Technology

Location problem

Not having active users in multiple cities in the country.
Software and concept did not scale beyond its physical borders.
Data grew rapidly.
Due to this, the dropoff that happened once people had to download and install Meetro was huge and it crushed adoption rates.
Realtime problem that if someone was not online then there will be no one in the system.

No Product-Market Fit

No market share

Could not capture enough market share.
