ShareChat & Moj CBO Gaurav Jain Resigns

Gaurav Jain, the chief business officer of ShareChat and its short-video app Moj, has quit. 

ShareChat CEO Ankush Sachdeva informed the employees about Jain’s exit. Later, Jain announced the update in a LinkedIn post separately. 

“Today, we shared internally that I’ll be moving on from ShareChat and Moj in the coming weeks. This transition has been in the works for sometime, and I’ll still be around for a bit longer before taking up a new challenge,” Jain wrote in his Linkedin post. 

Hinting on his next possible stint in the Asian continent, Jain said, “As for what’s next— I’m going from Bharat to Pan-Asian. More on that soon.”

The story was first reported by Entrackr. 

Sources told Inc42 that Jain will stay with the startup for a “couple of weeks” to ensure a smooth handover. 

Jain joined ShareChat and Moj in October 2022. Initially, he headed the ‘emerging business’, and was elevated to the role of CBO in November 2023, where he steered monetisation, ad‑sales, creator partnerships, and virtual gifting strategies.

Before joining ShareChat, he led APAC business expansion at Snap, overseeing Snapchat’s monetisation across India, Southeast Asia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. He also held key leadership roles at Meta India (mid‑market business) and Google APAC agency business before that.

ShareChat is currently looking for Jain’s replacement. 

Founded in 2015 by Ankush Sachdeva, Bhanu Pratap Singh, and Farid Ahsan, ShareChat is a social networking platform which provides space to share multilanguage content in India. Its parent company, Mohalla Tech also owns TikTok alternative Moj. 

Notably, in 2023, Singh and Ahsan exited the startup, however, they still remain on its board.
