Our Story

How it all began

It all started with a simple idea: to make business communication more effective and engaging in the mobile world.

Building on the Celerity Group’s more than 25 years of A2P SMS messaging experience, we launched Kero in mid-2025 as we recognized the need to evolve SMS messaging and create a messaging platform that leverages the power of Rich Business Messaging.

The name Kero derives from the Japanese kero kero, the rich croaking sound a frog makes – like ribbit in English – in its riverine environment. This idea of communicating in a distinctive way resonated with us and our mission to provide innovative rich business messaging services within the mobile ecosystem.
