Gari Network

Built on the Solana blockchain, Gari Network is a Web3 social app that empowers content creators and viewers alike by providing a decentralized platform for live streaming, video commerce, and community engagement. With over 130 million downloads and 50 million monthly active users, Chingari is one of the top 20 most downloaded apps worldwide on Google Play. The app has over 5 million daily active users (DAU) and over 40 million monthly average users (MAU), with about 200 million videos watched every day.

Gari Network's technology features a blockchain-based solution that allows for direct buying of goods and services from creator profiles, essential feeds, and multiplex entertainment sections. The platform also includes audio rooms, video commerce, and Chingari widgets, which enable website owners to add short-form videos directly from their Chingari profile or trending content matching different criteria. GARI tokens power the Web3 social graph, providing a governance mechanism for the community and enabling creators to monetize their content through tipping, influencer marketplaces, and sales.

Gari Network's use cases and utility are vast, with applications in live streaming, video commerce, and community engagement. Creators can earn revenue through GARI tokens by creating engaging content, participating in creator pools, and selling NFTs on the platform. Viewers can access premium content, participate in creator chat rooms, and engage in special requests and community video calls. The platform also enables direct buying of goods and services from creator profiles, making it a one-stop-shop for creators and viewers alike.

The Gari Network team is led by Sumit Ghosh, CEO and Chairman, who has scaled his first startup to 9 million revenue and has over 20 years of industry experience. The founding team includes Deepak Salvi, Co-Founder and COO, Biswatma Nayak, Co-founder and CTO, and Aditya Kothari, Co-Founder, COO, and Chief of Strategy. Notable partnerships include Republic Crypto, which has invested in the project, and Shilkrilds Group, led by Vivek Rai Gupta, who has invested in pathbreaking entrepreneurs.

Gari Network's roadmap includes plans to launch Chingari on multiple chains, including Solana and Aptos, with a focus on expanding its user base and increasing adoption. The platform also aims to integrate AI-powered features, including open-sourcing of GARI IP to the community and community-based curations of the Chingari AI feed. With a strong team and growing community, Gari Network is poised to become a leading player in the Web3 social app space.
