India Bands Chinese Apps.!

India Bans 59 Chinese apps


This news has been spreading like wildfire since yesterday.

The most search query on playstore is TikTok

The question needs to asked, if it is a permanent ban then what would happen to the numerous Indian employees representing these companies be in Sales, marketing,operations, HR etc? 

There would another round of job loses, many would find it difficult to get another job in the current situation.

Many are still able to access these apps via VPN and the content creators can download the videos/data and move it to any alternate Indian apps.

Is there a way round for these companies to enter the India market again via some other countries like Ireland/UK etc? need to wait and watch.

Lastly if it really in the National Interest and data privacy is the major issue, then let these apps be kept banned; we must encourage home grown startups and apps 
as an alternative for these.
