Here’s the note shared by the company on Twitter.
Dear Tiki Family,
We regret to inform you that Tiki will be shutting down its operations.
As of 11:59 PM India Time, June 27, 2023, all Tiki functions and services will cease. This means that you will no longer be able to watch or create your favorite short videos or live streams on Tiki, and the Tiki app will no longer be available for download from app stores. We want to inform you that all user data will be permanently deleted from our servers located in India and Singapore.
Before the shutdown date, we strongly encourage you to download any videos that are dear to you. Additionally, please remember to withdraw any T coins you may have before the 27th. You can withdraw them on your own in the app. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to provide any assistance or support after the shutdown date.
The recent challenges faced by the tech industry have led to the closure of numerous startups, including Tiki. Despite being a small startup operating in Singapore and India, Tiki has always stood for being A Place for Real Talents. We are immensely proud and grateful for the Tiki Family comprising creators and users like you.
We sincerely hope that the joyful moments you experienced on Tiki will remain cherished memories. Life is a journey, and we are grateful that we could appreciate the scenery together along the way.
