About

Built by the team behind Chingari.

Chingari grew into one of India’s biggest social apps and moved early into Web3 with GARI on Solana and Aptos. GARI is now the currency behind its next chapter: crypto-native live streaming.

“Creators are the reason anyone opens a live app. We think they should be paid like it: instantly, fairly, and with fans who share in their rise.”
