In podcasts and YT channels about India, lot of conversations goes around need of India to be digitally Atma-Nirbhar especially in the social media space.
What they mean is India should have its own WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Amazon etc. China did it from the beginning. Is it too late for India to build the apps and our own social media now?
Grapevine possibly is a good space for this tbh.
I think it's slightly early for Indian social media. All social media business models needs advertising money (unless some other successful business model comes up).
I trust our greedy American overlords more then I trust our wannabe build for Bharat founders
It's about adoption. I am not understanding why we should reinvent the wheel here? What do we get by that?
Yes, we need more startups, but to solve problems pertaining to India. Why do we have to make another social media app? Existing ones cause enough chaos in life
