What caused the sharp decline in valuations for ShareChat and hike both previously valued at over $3 billion and now below $1.5 billion in recent funding rounds? ShareChat's failed wager on the Indian short-video space amid the TikTok ban has forced a hunt for funds and prompted the markdown. (In late 2020 and early 2021, X explored buying ShareChat in a $2 billion deal, TechCrunch exclusively reported earlier.)

I still believe there is a lot to explore in this sector, we have just started learning to monetize audiences, it’s still a REALLY early phase, where most % of people are JUST receiving a phone (if not most, at least a significant amount) we want the US social media after effects too soon. But still tho, i wouldnt even expect the US startups adoption so fast. We were setting the wrong expectations from a very long time. Including founders.

I think this the one trend I’ve seen with consumer internet, you see scale, reach and impact, the best thing is to get acquired. Once that train leaves, the station looks pretty empty.
