Dec 28, 2021 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #chingari, #Deepak Salvi, #GARI Social Tokens, #Salman Khan, #Sumit Ghosh

The short video app category in India has been growing at an exponential rate. Currently, there are 240 million users that are hooked to these short video apps. This number is expected to rise further in the coming years and reach 575 million by 2025.

India’s leading short video app, Chingari registered a meteoric rise in 2021. The app currently has a user base of 90+ million and has seen two-fold growth since 2020. Chingari is at the #1 rank in the social app category and looks forward to crossing the 100+ M user base in 2022. The year 2021 also saw Chingari take bold steps and usher in the era of social commerce. Chingari took lead in this space by making every video on users’ feeds shopping-enabled in real-time and also generating affiliate revenues for content creators on its platform.

While this was the first step by Chingari to make creators economy mainstream, it further augmented the category by launching GARI Social Tokens. These tokens foster content monetization and rest the power of content creation directly in the hands of creators. The blockchain platform would allow users to obtain tokens for creating and viewing content. $GARI tokens are powered by the high-performance Solana blockchain, making Chingari the first major web2 company to integrate web3.

Chingari also got on board, the biggest Bollywood Megastar Salman Khan as the brand ambassador and investor in 2021. Right from its genesis, it has been a motto for Chingari to reach every state of Bharat and getting Salman Khan on board helped the company in achieving this milestone faster. Salman enjoys immense popularity across India and other regions of the world. Through this association, Chingari is confident that it will power the app to scale to greater heights.

Commenting on these developments, Mr. Sumit Ghosh, Co-founder & CEO, Chingari said, “The year 2021 has been a hallmark year for us. We have got immense support from our users, content creators and even our investors. We were able to raise more than $30 Million in the last year and will look at investing this in upping our technology, strengthening our R&D and introducing newer features that will enhance our user’s experience.

In 2021, Chingari also forged partnerships with numerous regional OTT platforms and music labels to create a more diverse platform for its users and creators and help them make content in the language they are most comfortable in. Some of the most notable partnerships are with Klick OTT, HoiChoi, Shemaroo Entertainment, Desi Crew Records, AltBalaji, and Gringo Entertainment to name a few. Chingari will continue to balance its regional partnerships in 2022 as well.

Mr. Deepak Salvi, Co-founder & COO, Chingari said, “We have had a stupendous year and we will continue to innovate and offer features that our creators and users love. Post-April, our influencer base has doubled, and we have witnessed an increase of 70-80% in our creator’s community. There has been an increased interest from brands and advertising since we have collaborated with Salman Khan. We are looking forward to expanding further, exploring new challenges and having more fruitful associations in the coming year.”

To stay ahead of the curve, Chingari launched many notable campaigns such as the #WorldMusicDay concert and #SheGotSpark campaign on the occasion of Women’s Day. As the country continued to fight the virus and break the chain, Chingari as a responsible partner launched the “Apna Mask” campaign, which was focused on encouraging people to get vaccinated and also highlighted the correct way of wearing a mask. To end the year with a bang Chingari will be celebrating Kisan Diwas with its #ProudFarmer campaign and is looking forward to a great night in Bangalore where Chingari’s 3 lucky influencers will be walking the ramp at the Bangalore Times Fashion Week 2021.

The year 2022 is expected to be a bigger game for Chingari as it is eyeing to set foot into the New Year with a user base of 100 million. It is also working on plans to expand further in the South-East Asian region and create meaningful IPs in the process.

COVID 19: Bollywood Stars Promoter Rajender Singh Continues To Provide Medical Aide to India

Aug 20, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Aamir Khan, #AishwaryaRai, #Amitabh Bachchan, #Anil Kapoor, #Anupam Kher, #Bollywood Stars Promoter, #Deepika Padukone, #Kapil Sharma, #Katrina Kaif, #Preity Zinta, #Rajender Singh, #Rekha, #Salman Khan, #Shah Rukh Khan

Rajender Singh, a notable bigwig amongst the Bollywood fraternity, is well known as the Bollywood Stars Promoter. In over two decades, he has promoted the Indian culture and heritage by successfully organizing over 125 concerts across the U.S. and about 12 internationally. Some of the high-profile stars that he has collaborated with include Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Anupam Kher, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, AishwaryaRai, Preity Zinta, Anil Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Rekha, and Kapil Sharma, among others.

The President of Star Promotions Inc.is now on a noteworthy mission of providing medical assistance to as many as possible in India. When India was battling against the devastating second wave of the coronavirus, Indian-American entrepreneur Rajender Singh began offering relief for Indians struggling with this deadly disease.

In his efforts to save lives, Rajenderhas been consistently providing help in India by shipping over 200 oxygen concentrators, 50 oxygen cylinders and several oximeters to the country.

1. Tell us about your incredible experience of being a Bollywood stars promoter?

Ans.I am a proud Indian and this is what I love the most about what I do. Through my work as a Bollywood stars promoter, I get to promote Indian culture and heritage internationally. I have organized over 95 major Bollywood events across the US and my incredible journey of organizing events in US began in 1996 with superstar Dharmendra, Sonu Nigam and Mamata Kulkerni. My journey has been fabulous as I have had an honour of working with legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Shah Rukh Khan, and Amir Khan.

2. Memories that stand out?

Working with Amitabh Sir has been really inspirational. I remember once, there was a show in Houston, Texas which was obviously sold-out following Amitabh Sir’s stardom. Usually, the star of the show approaches the organizers if they need any tickets for personal use but Amitabh sir is so humble that he bought over a 100 tickets for his friends himself for his own show. He is an inspiration.

3. You have been a great inspiration for many as you have shown how help can be provided anywhere irrespective of your own location. How did it all begin?

Ans. The second wave of the Coronavirus was an overwhelming period for us all. My phone was flooded with messages from relatives, friends in India seeking his help. Seeing Americans walking around without masks and dining indoors at restaurants, I felt like I was betraying my country by being here. I felt paralyzed by powerlessness and I knew something has to be done for those in need.I was getting calls from many states in India for help. Once the momentum picked up and the process got streamlined, one lead led to another since the need was so great.

4. How did you manage to send the help across India?

Ans.My routine had gone for a toss. After sleepless nights, I was compulsively following headlines about what is happening in India, tweeting requests for help, and video conferencing with my friends and family.

Whenever I get a call from someone in distress, I tell them ‘Don’t worry. It’ll be alright.’ That’s half the battle won.

I got in touch with my contacts in the Health Ministry, both at the central and state level, the Indian Medical Association, local consulate, doctors, bureaucrats, politicians, and celebrities, to make it easy for many patients who needed help during this crisis.

I am also thankful to Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who helped me in procuring several oxygen concentrators in the shortest time when needed critically.

At times, it took 50 calls to get a single bed in a hospital. Every life saved gave me fresh energy to help more. I am constantly in touch with Rajasthan health minister Raghu Sharma, Union Minister ArjunMeghwal, BMC Commissioner IS Chahal, and several others who have helped me help the people in crisis during these testing times.

5. How was the situation in Houston?

Well, a lot many Indian-American families in Houston metropolitan area, are mourning the deaths of family members, checking on relatives with growing alarm. I worked with a panel of COVID-19 experts in Houston to provide free consultations to patients and overwhelmed doctors in India.

6. What is the current scenario?

Ans. In a good sign, the frantic calls for help have become less. Now the needs have also changed as the demand is grown for the black fungus medication.

7. What are your thoughts about the vaccination?

Ans. The fight against Covid seems to be a long one and we can’t win this battle without vaccination. I hope people understand how crucially important it is to get vaccinated.

Rajender, who grew up in the state of Rajasthan, India, moved to the United States to begin his career in event management. He gradually gained popularity and now he is widely recognized as the man who brings the entire Bollywood industry together. He has led the promotion of the celebrity of Hindi cinema not only in the country but even internationally. He has promoted the very Indian culture and heritage internationally.

Zee Cinema promotes the World Television Premiere of Dabangg 3 with a social awareness campaign #DabanggBanoMaskPehno

Oct 22, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #‘Chulbul Pandey, ##DabanggBanoMaskPehno, #Dabangg 3, #Saiee Manjrekar, #Salman Khan, #Sonakshi Sinha, #zee cinema

‘Jo dushmano se na daare woh dabangg, apno ke pyaar pe jo mare woh dabangg aur jo mask pehen kar bahar nikle woh dabangg’. Spreading the awareness around the need of the hour social message along with a power packed punch of dhamkedar entertainment is Zee Cinema’s World Television Premiere of the Salman Khan starrer ‘Dabangg 3’this Sunday, 25th October at 12 noon.

Just like how the nation’s beloved ‘Chulbul Pandey’ a.k.a Robinhood Pandey wins over the evil with his Dabanggai ishtyle, Zee Cinema urges the audience to be ‘Dabangg’ by doing a simple task i.e wear a mask when you step out through its campaign #DabanggBanoMaskPehno.

The third edition of the dhamakedar franchise that revolves around the most loved cop Chulbul Pandey a.k.a Robin Hood Pandey is here to, once again, whisk you away with his heroic punches and quirky world. But this time his story starts from where it all began! With Dabangg 3, Director Prabhu Deva marks his second association with mega star Salman Khan and yet again the movie successfully took the box office by storm.

Touted as the masala family entertainer, the movie will witness Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha & Arbaaz Khan reprise their roles. And, adding a refreshing vibe to the franchise will be the debutante Saiee Manjrekar and Kichcha Sudeep. Be it the high voltage action, power packed dialogues, heartfelt emotions, rib-tickling comedy or masaledar jukebox the film has it all, ensuring a blockbuster movie viewing experience for you.

As a prelude to the premiere, Zee Cinema undertook a series of high decibel marketing initiatives to promote the WTP of Dabangg 3 through a social awareness campaign #DabanggBanoMaskPheno by tapping into Chulbul Pandey’s equity. While the lockdown has been lifted and people are getting back to their lives, they need to remember that the virus is still there and each one of us need to take the necessary precautions like wearing a mask.

The channel kickstarted this with an OOH campaign for 7 days in Mumbai, Delhi & Ahmedabad to spread this message. Along with this, the channel also placed larger than life cutouts of Chulbul Pandey wearing a mask and distributed sanitizers and masks to people who weren’t wearing masks to create awareness in 6 cities (Lucknow, Varanasi, Meerut, Agra, Kanpur & Allahabad) in UP

But, that’s not all, the marketing blitzkrieg spills over social media as well with Zee Cinema putting forth an engaging activity asking loyalists to share their ‘mask wali selfie’ tagging Zee Cinema to spread the awareness further. In addition to this, Zee Cinema created a special video that celebrates and salutes the Dabangg police officers of our country who are 24×7 on their feet to ensure our safety. This video was released on ‘Police commemoration day’ and is being widely promoted on the channel’s social media platforms.

Speaking about being a part of the Dabangg franchise, Sonakshi Sinha said, “Dabangg is home to me, I started my career in the industry with this film and am glad to have been an integral part of this franchise as it grew. It’s an honor for me and I am grateful for everybody especially Salman Khan to have shown that faith in me to play the role of Rajjo and giving me my first break. Dabangg is one of the franchises that has got tremendous success throughout and it feels great to be a part of that journey and build it along the way.”

Sharing her experience of working alongside Salman Khan, Saiee Manjrekar said, “It was like a dream come true, to be honest. With a lot of thrill and excitement came tremendous responsibility to be in the same frame as Salman sir and Sonakshi. During my screen test, I knew that the first take is going to decide my fate to star along with my childhood favorite artist.

Even while shooting, it all felt surreal and each day I was on my toes to do justice to the character and the faith Prabhudeva sir and Salman sir had put on me. I got to learn so much from each one of them and I am glad to have landed this opportunity for making my debut with Dabangg 3. Nonetheless, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.”

Is Dussehra, hogi burai ki zabardaast dhulai aur hoga dhamakedar entertainment kyun ki aa rahe hain Chulbul Pandey ji. So, get ready to give him a blockbuster swagat this Sunday.

Watch the World Television Premiere of Dabangg 3 only on Zee Cinema this 25th October at 12 noon!
