It is to be noted that despite being headquartered out of Singapore, Tiki claims to be a ‘Made in India’ original short-video app owing to a full-fledged 100+ members team in India led by Abhishek Dutta, as reported by BuzzInContent.com earlier.

The short-video platform was launched in India after the government’s clamp down on Tik Tok. The app had been able to garner over one million users within one month of its launch, which went on to rise to five million users in the next two months.
