To add fuel to Chingari, Salman khan has been roped in as an investor and brand ambassador to spread the word of the app.

LG finally drops the bomb of shutting down its smartphone business to prevent further losses and will build up and focus on electrical vehicle components, connected devices, smart homes, robotics, artificial intelligence, and business-to-business solutions, as well as platforms and services.
