ShareChat reduces losses by 72%, eyes 30% revenue growth in FY26 as core business becomes cash positive

National, 17th October 2025: ShareChat, India’s largest homegrown social media company, announced a significant improvement in its financial performance for FY25, reporting a 72% reduction in adjusted EBITDA losses to ₹219 crore from ₹793 crore in FY24. Revenue stood at ₹723 crore, marking a marginal year-on-year increase, as the company executed on its strategy to build the most cost-effective content recommendation system in the world and a robust, sustainable social media business.

With the core business now cashflow positive, the company is setting its sight firmly on unlocking new avenues of growth. The company’s rigorous financial discipline over the last three years has enabled it to build a profitable social media business in one of the most competitive and lowest ARPU markets in the world. ShareChat is now investing aggressively into adjacent areas where it can leverage the distribution strength of its two large platforms to spin up fresh revenue streams. The company is confident of achieving 30% revenue growth in FY26, having already surpassed Rs. 1,000cr ARR by the end of first half of the financial year.

As part of its growth plan, ShareChat has strategically diversified into the micro drama vertical, which blends short-form storytelling with an integrated monetization model. Since its launch in May 2025, QuickTV – its subscription led micro-drama app – has taken off rapidly, surpassing 15 million downloads, with users spending nearly one hour daily consuming fresh micro-drama content. The company is simultaneously leveraging the reach of ShareChat and Moj platforms to offer ad supported, free to watch micro drama content across multiple languages. On ShareChat and Moj, nearly 35 million users are consuming micro-dramas every month, watching over 200 million episodes per day. Owing to its large user base and a strong advertising stack, ShareChat is uniquely positioned to offer ad supported micro-drama in a market crowded by subscription-only players.

“Our disciplined approach to cost optimization and strategic diversification is now delivering results. We have built a strong core business with large and sticky user base that allows us to invest confidently in the next phase of growth”, said Ankush Sachdeva, CEO and Cofounder, ShareChat & Moj. He added, “The mission of a sustainable core business is well achieved, and we are now shifting gears to accelerate growth. There’s great opportunity in the micro drama format and we are aggressively investing in both subscription and advertising led monetization of this content. Rs. 1,000cr annualized revenue is a great milestone to achieve and it gives us confidence to propel forward.”

With ad supported micro drama, the company is eyeing to go after the newer pool of adex that was so far concentrated among OTT players. ShareChat’s reach and time spend rivals that of top OTT players in India and the addition of micro drama content gives it the right to pitch for ad spends that were traditionally reserved for OTTs.

Backed by a monetizable user base of over 200 million providing a strong foundation for scalable and sustained growth, ShareChat is focused on building on its current revenue momentum while maintaining profitability in its core business segments.
