Can Indian apps successfully tap into opportunities after Chinese app ban?

The ban on 59 Chinese apps by the Indian Government, has opened up a world of opportunities for homegrown players to fill in the void. The ban also includes hugely popular TikTok app. Soon after the ban, TikTok users were switching on to Indian apps such as Roposo, Mitron, Chingari, giving a boost to a more Atmanirbhar app economy.

While the opportunities are great, will the Indian apps be able to hold their own when global players like Instagram Reels launch in the country? How does the entire Indian app economy function? How can Indian start-ups monetise in a more efficient manner? How to create differentiation in this field and not end up as mere TikTok clones?

Questions are many, and to tackle them and shed more light on this developing field, Adgully has lined up a cross-section of digital experts who are among those spearheading this ecosystem as part of our flagship #TwitterChat property for the discussion on ‘Opportunities for Indian Apps with a Chinese Void In the Indian Ecosystem’.
