About Chingari
Chingari is an Indian short-video app that issued the GARI token in 2022, putting tipping, content unlocks, NFTs and governance on-chain. The token launched on Solana and bridged to Aptos in the second quarter of 2023. The app includes a GARI wallet, staking and task systems: creators earn tokens for engagement, viewers tip or pay for promotion, and short-video feeds, audio rooms and one-to-one call entry points all remain, with more than 20 languages supported. Cumulative Google Play downloads exceed 100 million.
From June 2023 Chingari shifted from short video to paid private livestreaming, earning mainly from one-to-one video calls and virtual diamonds, with overseas users contributing most revenue. Registrar of Companies filings show FY25 operating revenue of 440 million rupees, down 53% year on year, and a net loss of 88 million rupees, with cash and bank balances of 22 million rupees at the end of March 2025. GARI's market capitalisation was about $96,000 in October 2026, far below its February 2022 high of $0.98.
Major setback: GARI's market liquidity has nearly dried up — on Oct 21 the price sat near $0.00011 with only about $200 in 24-hour volume, ranking roughly #3246 on CMC; on Jul 13 it had fallen into the ~$0.000164 all-time-low range, down over 99% from its 2022 high.
