“In alignment with our strategic vision, the company undertook a comprehensive restructuring effort to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and position the company for sustainable growth,” said the company.
As a result, “the organisation has moved to a flatter org structure and prioritised product initiatives that resulted in a reduction in team sizes by roughly 15 per cent”, the spokesperson added.
In final stages to raise funding
ShareChat is reportedly said to be in the final stages to raise about $50 million that brings down its valuation to below $1.5 billion. According to a report in TechCrunch, citing sources, the company’s existing investors including Temasek and Tencent are reportedly among the investors in advanced stages of talks in the new round.
