Hike Sticker Chat App to Shut Down This Month, 'India Won’t Have Its Own Messenger' CEO Kavin Bharti Mittal Says. Amidst the #whatsapp and #Signal app concerns, posts and memes did we forget to take a look at Indian options as well. Did #HikeMessenger app fail to take advantage of the market shift like FreeCharge which couldn't capture the trend during demonetisation. I used Hike during college days. It did have an appeal. Their referral strategy, the feel and many added features helped Hike to grow very fast. I must say many features were ahead of time like the stickers, extended limits on groups, file sizes, the Ai Chat bot, news, mini apps. As a student these features were fun and useful too. Lets see what India builds next. #HikeApp #HikeShutDown #whatsapp #signal #businessNews #ameyaagrawal
