Once upon a time, three musketeers who were binging on Hyderabadi biriyani were given two choices 👉 Dance with the Devil (or) Swim with the Sharks. Considering all three were non-swimmers, the option seemed fairly logical. Right? Wrong!

Excited to continue our partnership with Ankush and the entire ShareChat team. Our journey started in 2016 with Lightspeed India leading the Series A and participating in every round since then. Sharechat started by creating the category of social media centered on Indian languages. It then added and scaled in short video as well as multiple pillars of revenue with advertising and consumer-paid services. Onwards and upwards! 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🚀 Lightspeed
Happy to share we have raised $50m from Lightspeed, Temasek and other investors. The last two years have been transformative for us at ShareChat, as we shifted our focus from solely driving user growth to strengthening our revenue generation capabilities and advancing towards sustainable growth. In this period, we've made significant strides in becoming a more sustainable business, reducing our monthly burn by 90% and doubling our revenue! 🚀 We hit our first milestone of making the ShareChat product profitable in October 2023. We are now expecting the Moj product to be profitable by Jun'24 and overall company being profitable in next 12 months. Our team has been the driving force behind our significant progress so far. In appreciation of their incredible contributions and to encourage sustained momentum, we are thrilled to announce a one-time bonus for all our employees. This bonus effectively doubles their total ownership in the company. To facilitate this, we have allocated an ESOP pool that represents 3.5% of our cap table for these bonus grants. This has been a steep learning experience for all of us and we are confident we will come out on the other side as the largest profitable social media company of India with 30cr+ community and build from there on! 🇮🇳🔥 https://lnkd.in/gTSgYG9K
