What Hike does
Founded in 2012, Hike is a social media platform. The unicorn initially started as a messaging app with offerings like Hike Sticker Chat and Hikeland, a virtual space for young users to socialise. In 2021, Hike closed its messaging platform and pivoted to a new product focus on virtual experiences through its platform called Vibe, a social media platform, and Rush, a RMG platform. With a revenue of Rs 151.97 Cr in FY23, Hike competes with companies including Zupee, WinZO and 99Games.
Who runs it
Funding and finances
Why this matters to you: funding stage is a rough proxy for how long the runway is and how much structure to expect. It is not a promise, and a profitable bootstrapped company can be the safer bet.
Check the company’s own careers page — linked at the top — before a job board. A role appears there first, sometimes weeks before it is syndicated anywhere else.
