MX Media, the parent company of MX Player and MX TakaTak, and its owners will become strategic shareholders in ShareChat’s parent company, Mohalla Tech.

In a joint statement, MX Media and ShareChat announced that “this strategic alliance will enable both MX Media and ShareChat to further profit from the synergies between long-form and short form, at a substantially greater scale, in an accelerated way.” They didn’t say what the arrangement was for.

ShareChat and MX Player Merger will shake up the short video platform market

Their merger is the strongest sign of a industry consolidation that is about to hit the short video apps market in India.

Post the TikTok ban in mid-2020, several of local startups launched their own offerings to cash in on the vacuum the Chinese app left in the world’s second largest internet market. TikTok was boasted over 200 million users in India.

DailyHunt, a news aggregator, and advertising giant InMobi are two other large players that are currently operating in the Indian short-video space.

“I am excited to announce the strategic merger of India’s two most popular social media platforms. MX has always strived to build superior world class products, and Takatak is no exception,” said Karan Bedi, chief executive of MX Player in a statement.

“This combined with Moj’s AI and execution capabilities makes the combined business a truly world class short video platform. MX has created two ‘unicorns’ within one business, unlocking significant value for our shareholders, and will now continue to double down on OTT, with significantly increased financial resources.”

MX TakaTak will continue to operate as a separate platform for now, but the two apps’ creator bases, content supply, and recommendation algorithms may integrate eventually, the firms said. A decision on whether one of the apps will absorb the other or if they should continue to co-operate in their current avatars hasn’t been taken and may take up a few months, the source familiar with the matter said.

ShareChat and MX Player combine will own over 100 Million Short Video Creators

The combined short-video app will have over 100 million creators and reach more than 300 million monthly active users, the firms said.

“We at Mohalla Tech are building India’s largest AI-powered content ecosystem which has been on an unprecedented growth trajectory,” said Ankush Sachdeva, co-founder and chief executive of ShareChat, in a statement.

“MX TakaTak is a popular platform and this merger further solidifies our position in the short video ecosystem. With this development, we aim to build the largest original content platform on Moj along with the largest community of users across India and reach over 300 million MAUs by the end of 2022.”

Tiger Global-backed ShareChat is backed by Tiger Global and MX Player is owned by Times Internet
