Chingari

Bengaluru, India

Project Summary

CODE B handled all web design and development for a short-video application, built an admin panel for video moderators, and led blockchain/Web3 backend work to migrate parts of the product to crypto. Since engagement, the app has amassed around 170 million downloads and the Web3 product onboarded roughly 2.3 million users from tier-two and tier-three Indian cities; the vendor uses Jira and is praised for development speed and scalable architecture.

Key Challenges

Lacked an in-house web development team
Had limited initial developer resources (1–2 Android, a few iOS, 1–2 backend)
Needed a scalable web/admin solution for content moderation

Project Deliverables

Website (marketing and landing pages)
Admin panel for video moderators
Backend blockchain/crypto components
Feature implementations and landing pages
Functional testing

Project Solution

CODE B took responsibility for all web development work, including building and maintaining the website (marketing/landing pages) and implementing new web features. They created an admin panel used by 20–30 moderators to manage video content, performed functional testing after development, and implemented blockchain/crypto-related backend components after the client moved to Web3 in late 2021. The team worked from basic requirements, designs, and architectures provided by the client and used Node.js, Python, Web3 and JavaScript in their work.

Project Outcome

App amassed over 170 million downloads
Onboarded around 2.3 million users to crypto
Website receives approximately 200,000–250,000 daily visits
Delivered scalable, maintainable software that supported fast product launches and stable year-long operation for the Web3 product
