Homegrown social app Chingari, a short video sharing platform to cater to the needs of young Bharat, has raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Brian Norgard, the Chief Product Officer of Tinder; French entrepreneur Fabrice Grinda, Founder of OLX; and tech entrepreneur Guy Lelouch.
The officials of the desi app, with more than 25 million downloads, have stated that the funds will be used mostly for product development and hiring a talented team of ML/AI engineers to enhance the camera features.
Chingari allows its users to download and upload videos, chat with friends, interact with new people, share content, browse through feed, and much more. A Chingari user can get creative with WhatsApp status, Videos, Audio clips, GIF stickers, and photos, and become popular. The platform gives points (on per-view basis) to its content creators and these points can be redeemed for money, making the platform truly rewarding.
Chingari — available in multiple Indian languages like English, Hindi, Bangla, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu — can be downloaded for free on all app stores such as Google Play Store and iOS App Store.
