ShareChat has raised $124m in five rounds of funding since its inception in 2015.
ShareChat is changing the way in which the next billion users will interact on the internet. It allows internet users to connect with each other and express their creativity.
In 2014, the first version of ShareChat was launched, which was a chat app, offering 10 languages, including English. But co-founders found the engagement in English was low. So they scrapped English and re-launched it in 2015, expanding it to include a feed where users could generate and share content with hashtags.
