Tech4Billion Media plans to raise $200 million at a valuation of $1 billion, propelling the operator of video-sharing platform Chingari into India’s fast-growing unicorn league. Chingari will use its Series B fundraising round to raise the additional funds. The successful launching of its social token GARI on numerous cryptocurrency platforms last month will support the firm valuation.
