Hindi Language users are ‘Feeling the Love’
ShareChat offers information and community access to Indians in 15 regional languages in order to strengthen this bond even in the social media sphere.
Indian messaging app ShareChat is in talks with US-based venture capital firm Sequoia Capital to raise around Rs 1,500 crore, according to a source.
Since the Indian government blocked 59 Chinese apps, ShareChat has seen over 100 per cent growth in its downloads and active user base in India in June.
“Sharechat is in active discussion with Sequoia Capital to raise around Rs 1,500 crore. It should take the valuation of Sharechat to around Rs 7,500 crore. In the normal course, the transaction should be done within a quarter,” the source told PTI.

Similarly, the app’s total downloads are estimated to have crossed 20 crore from around 9.8 crore a month back.
