Why a Tik Tok Clone?

Back when Tik Tok was at its peak in India which was its largest overseas market, it had 200 million users and there was good reason for it. With it’s simple to use and easy to understand design it meant that anyone could use it and with the internet boom which provided cheap and fast internet to almost everyone it meant that rural people, villagers and farmers who had little knowledge about the internet could also use it, make and consume content. It was a fair and levelled playing field now, almost anyone could become an influencer and a lot of people did, some through showcase of their dancing skill, some through and believe it or not some through short skits. It really took talent to come up with a short story with the duration of 15 seconds and now everyone had the chance to showcase it. 

If Tik Tok is already so popular then why would someone want to invest in a Tik Tok clone and take on the giant itself? 

Even though Tik Tok was the most used app in India (key word being was) everything changed in the summer of 2020 when the India government Banned Tik Tok and a plethora of other apps of Chinese origin, the reason stated was that the app was invading the privacy of millions by collecting data of its users secretly without them knowing when they downloaded the app and it was considered a threat to the national security of India. Heating matters and clashes between India and China at the Himalayas in Galwan valley did not help the situation at all plus it was not the first time Tik Tok was accused of stealing user’s data and providing it to the Chinese government.
