ShareChat Plans Up to $400 Million IPO After Achieving Operational Profitability

Analysed 2 Jul 2026·4 sources analysed·India·Business
ShareChat Plans Up to $400 Million IPO After Achieving Operational ProfitabilityPreviousNext

ShareChat's parent company, Mohalla Tech Pvt., plans to raise up to $400 million through an IPO within the next four to five quarters, following its operational profitability in Q1 FY27. The Bengaluru-based firm operates ShareChat, Moj, and QuickTV, with annual revenues exceeding ₹1,000 crore and growth over 30%. The turnaround is driven by cost-cutting, improved unit economics, and the growing micro-drama segment, which attracts about 65 million monthly viewers in India. IPO plans remain tentative and subject to change.
