History[edit]
Chingari was launched in Google Play Store in November 2018. It is a social entertainment application, founded by two techno-geeks Sumit Ghosh and Biswatma Nayak, a mechanical engineer turned programmer. Chingari app was rebranded and redesigned in June 2020.[4]
Chingari’s downloads crossed over 25 million on 21st July 2020.[5] The application has been widely praised and has gained popularity, especially in India, after Indian government announced a blanket ban on TikTok[6] amongst 59 other Chinese apps, as a consequence of its Galwan Valley border tensions with China.
Due to the sudden spike in the number of users, Chingari and it’s servers initially reported a few crashes. However, soon, an updated version of the app 2.3.9 was released with a better user interface and better features. Since then, its users have steadily increased in number.
In 2020, Chingari was rated as one of Google Play’s best entertainment applications, with a 4.1-star rating.
Expansion In Other Markets[edit]
As of July 2020, Chingari is available in over 50 countries and in over 10 languages. Chingari was downloaded more than 25 million times on Google play store in July 2020, according to TOI.
