New Delhi, May 8 : Content sharing platform SHAREit on Tuesday announced that it has acquired South Indian movie app Fastfilmz and declared its founder Karam Malhotra as the new CEO of SHAREit India.
With its acquisition, SHAREit aims to expand its content and regional user base in India, making movies from over four South Indian languages available for users.
"We think adding Fastfilmz to our product will help us enhance the engagements to millions of users," Jason Wang, Managing Director, SHAREit India, said in a statement.
SHAREit claimed that with this deal, users would have access to content within lesser data usage and buffering time.
