Both Chingari and hoichoi share the common goal of reaching out to the masses and strengthening our presence and this association is a step in that direction. From its very start, Chingari has been offering engaging short videos in Bangla on its platform and the incorporation of Hoichoi content will be an additional attraction for the 38-million-strong Chingari family. We are confident that the new content will receive immense love from our users."
