Mohalla Tech, the Indian company behind short-video app ShareChat, plans to go public in 2027 with a target fundraise of up to $400 million. ShareChat currently reaches approximately 65 million monthly viewers for its micro-drama content.
Mohalla Tech operates a portfolio of social and video platforms including ShareChat, short-video app Moj, and subscription-based micro-drama service QuickTV. The planned IPO would represent a significant milestone for the company as it seeks to capitalize on India's growing short-form video market.
ShareChat's 65 million monthly micro-drama viewers position the platform as a notable player in India's competitive short-video landscape, where it competes with larger rivals including YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. The micro-drama segment has emerged as a distinct content category within short-video platforms, attracting dedicated viewer bases.
The 2027 IPO timeline provides Mohalla Tech roughly three years to scale operations and strengthen financials ahead of its public market debut. The company's valuation and final fundraising target will depend on operational performance and market conditions during that period.
