ShareChat plans to launch its stock market debut within the next 12 to 18 months, as announced by co-founder and CEO Ankush Sachdeva.
The company has achieved significant financial milestones, including cash-flow positivity and EBITDA breakeven, which it believes will enhance its stability and visibility in the market.
ShareChat was valued at approximately $5 billion during its last funding round in 2022, with future valuations dependent on investor sentiment closer to the IPO.
The company anticipates reporting EBITDA profitability, net profit, and positive cash flow simultaneously by April 2026.

Indian social media company ShareChat is targeting a stock market debut over the next 12 to 18 months, according to co-founder and chief executive Ankush Sachdeva, who shared the company’s public listing plans in an interview with a prominent business news outlet.

Sachdeva said the company believes it is now in a stronger position to approach the capital markets after reaching several important financial milestones, including cash-flow positivity and EBITDA breakeven. These improvements, he noted, have brought greater visibility and stability to the business.

"We've achieved key milestones including cash flow positivity and EBITDA breakeven, and now have better predictability in the business. The next 12-18 months is what we are aiming for," Sachdeva has been quoted as saying.

The company was reportedly valued at around $5 billion during its last funding round in 2022. For the current valuation, Sachdeva said its eventual market valuation will depend on investor sentiment closer to the IPO.

Sachdeva reportedly added that April 2026 could become a milestone month for the company, as it is likely to report EBITDA profitability, net profit (PAT), and positive cash flow all at once for the first time.

Founded in 2015, ShareChat built its early success by focusing on regional-language content for users outside India’s major metropolitan centres. Together, ShareChat and Moj now attract around 200 million monthly active users.
