Chingari to significantly ramp up hiring after TikTok ban, plans 100-people content moderation team

Homegrown short video sharing app Chingari on Thursday said it is working on significantly ramping up its headcount to 200 people in the next few months to meet the manifold growth in traffic and user addition on its platform.

The Bengaluru-headquartered company claims its app downloads have already crossed the one-crore mark from 5 lakh last month.

“We have been witnessing massive growth three weeks prior, which has accelerated further after the government’s ban (of 59 Chinese apps). We already have over 1.1 crore downloads and 70 lakh users every day on our platform,” Chingari’s co-founder and Chief of Product Sumit Ghosh told PTI.
