“We would like to welcome all TikTok users to come and try Chingari, a 100 per cent ‘Made In India’ app,” said Sumit Ghosh, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer.
Chingari also pays its content creator on the basis of how viral the video becomes. For each video uploaded on the app by the user, he or she gets points per view and these points that can be redeemed for cash. Chingari also offers some basic video-editing features. Users can record videos at different speeds and one can also apply some filters and add Audio in the video.
Chingari faces stiff competition from other similar Indian apps like Mitron and Roposo. Recently Zee5 also announced that it is planning to launch a short video sharing platform called HiPi in India soon.
