A year after the government swooped across the Eco-System application in the country to engage in the activities ‘prejudicial on Indian sovereignty, integrity and security’, many applications from the country continue to grow exponentially – some of the companies that are explicitly prohibited, such as Alibaba, Bypance, and Xiaomi.
Most of these companies have tried to hide their Chinese origins, luggage their applications with new company names, and with little public information about the ownership of the application.
Toi investigations found that at least 8 of the top 60 applications in India are currently operated, and together reach more than 211 million users every month.
The same application has 96 million users in July 2020 when China’s application is prohibited – implying that they have acquired 115 million new users in the past 13 months.

However, the entry of similar applications in the new Avatar does not seem to be considered, especially because the company has grown in strength in this country.
Most companies have tried to hide their Chinese roots, luggage their applications with new company names, and sometimes with a little public information about the ownership of the application.
Almost all new applications belonging to media and entertainment rooms, which are companies such as Tiktok (based on Bypance), and SnackVideo (by Kuaiishou) operate when it is prohibited from 2020.
Experts believe that Chinese companies have targeted this category because it allows them to quickly reach a large audience base.

The fastest growing Chinese application is the fastest growing application in India: Playit.
This application has grown rapidly by promoting piracy.
