Indian content-sharing and short-video apps have become popular since New Delhi banned ByteDance’s TikTok and some other Chinese apps following an India-China border clash.

ShareChat, which has 180 million active users, allows users to post content in 15 Indian languages. After TikTok was banned, the Indian firm also launched a similar short-video sharing app named Moj, with 160 million users and it counts Meta Platforms Inc’s Instagram Reels as its key rival.
