He wants to make Hike “Internet’s playground in India”.
The company is funded by Bharti Softbank (BSB), a joint venture between Bharti and Japanese
telecommunications company SoftBank.
BSB invested $7 million in 2013 and $14 million in March 2014. In the latest round of funding,
announced a day after our meeting, Hike raised $65 million from Tiger Global and BSB.
Mittal doesn’t have a revenue stream in mind just yet. He is in fact not going to think about
making money before Hike crosses 100 million users, which he wants to do in the next 18
months.

India, chat themes, updated stickers, hidden chats and revamped user interface. In August 2014, Hike hit 35
million users and raised another big round of funding - $65 million - led by Tiger Global.

15. Hike Messenger made its first acquisition, buying free voice-calling company Zip Phones, which allowed it to
launch free app based calling services that are emerging as a key draw for users
In 2015, Hike launched the "Great Indian Sticker Challenge" to invite designers to design new stickers. As
per the communication statistics on Hike, 30% of the traffic comes from stickers.
On Oct 2015, the CEO of hike announced that the userbase of hike reached up to 70 million and more than
20 billion messages are shared each month. And in December according to hike blog hike is sharing over 1
billion messages every single day and 30 billion+ messages a month.

Features:
Apart from basic social messaging means like photos, videos and audio files, Hike allows users to "nudge",
a feature used to ping the receiver. In addition to that, the application supports chat themes, graphical
stickers, PDF files and Office Files. It also allows users to hide individual and group chats providing
extended privacy. The messenger now provides free voice-calling over 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi across the globe
in over 200 countries.

Hike uses a 128-bit SSL encrypted, firewalled server for the exchange of media and text messages only on
wifi. Messages are stored locally in the user's device and the data is not backed-up to Hike's server.
Hike is also accused of spamming contacts of the Hike users by sending unsolicited SMSes purporting to be
from the Hike user to the non-users in their contacts, thereby validating the fact that they back-up the
contact numbers without explicit permission from the non-users.
