Taking to LinkedIn to announce the change, he wrote: “As we near the end of 2022, wanted to share with all of you that I am stepping down from ShareChat as the Chief Commercial Officer. An excellent 2-year stint with immense learning, 7X growth, expanding revenue, marketing and partnership team by 10X, working collaboratively with a great young cross-functional team in content, product and tech vertical, 1000+ advertisers on the platform, the confidence from founders to dream big and play long term, opportunity and patience from clients and agencies to work closely to establish a new ecosystem of being no.1 player in the “short video space” (esp post the TikTok ban in India), leverage space of “language audience” of India and creating a new space of “mass market influencer marketing.”
His role at ShareChat included building a monetization approach with strategic content partnerships and strengthening the platform's revenue efforts.
