Introduction
Today, nearly 68% of Indian internet users prefer content in their native language. That alone changes how brands should think about communication. The loudest conversations online aren’t happening only in English anymore. They’re happening in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Bengali, Bhojpuri — and in the everyday language of real people.
This shift is exactly why short-form video marketing in India has become so powerful. Not because it’s short. But because it’s relatable.
In this blog, we’ll see the real change, why regional content converts better, and how brands can build a sharper regional digital marketing strategy for Bharat.
The Rise of Bharat in the Digital Economy
If you look at user behaviour, the story becomes clearer.
ShareChat has crossed 350 million users, and a higher percentage of consumers prefer regional content. Moj’s #LearnOnMoj has exceeded 35 billion views. That’s not niche consumption — that’s mainstream India.
Platforms like Josh and Roposo are also witnessing strong traction across Tier-2 and Tier-3 audiences, further strengthening the regional short-video ecosystem in India.
Here’s something interesting: #LearnOnMoj has reached 35 billion views. Education, daily-life hacks, and practical knowledge are performing just as strongly as entertainment.
This is why Bharat audience marketing deserves serious attention. The next growth wave is coming from Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, and they’re not just watching — they’re engaging.
Moj & ShareChat: Platforms Brands Can’t Ignore
The creator economy in India is no longer limited to Instagram or YouTube. Moj and ShareChat have built strong communities around regional storytelling.
Alongside them, platforms like Josh and Roposo continue to nurture regional creators and hyperlocal content formats, expanding opportunities for brands to connect beyond metro audiences.
What works there?
Edutainment.
Festival-based campaigns.
Voice-over explainers.
Regional influencer collaborations from smaller towns.
For brands exploring Moj and ShareChat marketing opportunities, the focus shouldn’t be viral fame. It should be cultural relevance — especially across Tier-2 and Tier-3 market growth areas.
Creative Formats That Actually Convert
From what we’ve observed across campaigns, the formats that convert usually feel simple:
- Local humor and stories about life
- Festival and cultural content
- Edutainment and knowledge-based content
- Music and dance content
When paired with a thoughtful voice-first content strategy, these formats don’t just generate views — they move people to act.
However, being visible does not always guarantee interaction with the target audience.
This space evolves quickly. Platforms change. Trends shift. That’s why brands need to constantly monitor behaviour before jumping in.
