QYOU Media (TSXV: QYOU) this morning announced that it has entered into a collaboration with that of Chingari through its subisidary The Q India. The collaboration is defined as a joint programming and marketing agreement that will feature The Q India’s content on the Chingari platform on an ad supported basis.
Chingari is a popular app in India that rose to prominence in the country following the banning of the popular TikTok app on June 29, 2020. The app has since experienced explosive growth, with the mobile app available to over 30 million users, while boasting 3 million daily active users. Further, it is currently the number one social networking app and the most popular short video sharing app in the country.
The collaboration is beneficial for QYOU, given that the two firms have the same target audience of those in the 14-35 year old demographic. The app is currently expanding content delivery to include games, news, and short form video on demand.
