Social Media App Chingari Ranks as India’s #1 on Google Play

India’s leading short video sharing app with over 32 million daily active users, Chingari, discloses it has just hit the number one spot on Google Play, now ranks as the country’s top free social media application. 

Chingari is one of India’s fastest-growing social media platforms and has a record high of 85 million downloads. Due to its growing daily numbers, Chingari has surpassed some of the biggest names in the social media industry to claim the number one spot, knocking off the likes of Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook. 

The India’s most popular network was founded by Sumit Ghosh, Deepak Salvi, Aditya Kothari, and Biswatma Nayak in November 2018. Just in three years, the app has become one of the nation’s hottest social hubs.

Furthermore, the award-winning platform has enjoyed roaring success in the world’s second-most populous country as a result of its built-in filters to help users create visual effects. This means users can decide to sing a song, lip-sync, dance, film their pets, create voice-over movie scenes, perform comedy acts or do something else creative with music in the background before sharing their content.
