Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017
What does banning an app mean exactly? Sure, it won't be available for download in the app store which is good, but in the case of apps like TikTok with a 100 million+ users in India already having downloaded it they will still have it on their phones unless they choose to delete it. The govt. might have to work with ISP's to to figure out how to stop traffic on those apps if possible.

India would cut the access to servers. You can do something locally, but not place the 'something' on a server for someone else to watch.
Not a big deal.
Read that Tik Tok gets 10% of their revenue in India. Ouch.

CamScanner is the one that could cause some serious issues. It's a popular app that auto uploads all documents. This app is a treasure mine for China.

Re: Indian IT Industry
For the tech savvy among you here's a question : Can those 53 odd Chinese apps be used if one spoofs the IP using a VPN on the phone ? If yes, then is there anything the government can do to block such loopholes ?
Re: Indian IT Industry
Blocking all VPNs is challenging as a> there are a lot of legitimate VPN uses, including for corporate networks and b> modern VPN can share the same ports as web traffic and hence can be hard to block without a system that can inspect each packet of traffic and identify VPN traffic from that mix (something that has severe performance and monetary costs).Ambar wrote:For the tech savvy among you here's a question : Can those 53 odd Chinese apps be used if one spoofs the IP using a VPN on the phone ?

But basically if you officially make it illegal, and kill app store downloads, plus block the China IPs and ports, then probably kills about 80% of the potential usage and more importantly prevents monetization of the app usage. For e.g Abdul who makes jihadi TikTok videos stating that COVID won't affect Muslims, currently makes money by doing so, and will have to go back to working in his abbu's puncture shop and will have to spend his own dime on such activities as there won't be a legal way for TikTok to pay him.
Re: Indian IT Industry
This is true both in terms of India vs onshore, but even large campus in 'IT Hub' cities vis villages/towns in India. A lot of companies, at least in TN are realizing that people are happier and more productive when working from their hometowns (better broadband penetration needs to be incentivized as a high priority by govt) and it can help keep costs down for companies, while improving the local economy in T2/T3 cities and smaller towns. TN has some good SAAS companies like Zoho, Freshdesk and Kissflow who were already pioneering this (esp Zoho) and now they have gone all-in on that strategy.vimal wrote:I think all the remote work culture will actually benefit Indian companies.

Re: Indian IT Industry
Perhaps you missed the leftwing media whining about how the TikTok ban was undermining livelihoods of 'underprivileged' people. There definitely is monetization, and it is significant enough to have people attempt ridiculous stunts like desecrating idols or strangling or beating to death cats or dogs to make their videos go viral. The profile of the typical TikToker is that of small town, esp single-source folks who want money by hook or crook, for them TikTok is just an alternative to some other scam that they would be pulling otherwise. Of course there are some carefully selected and promoted 'celebrity' TikTokers too.sajo wrote:OT : But I did not find any mention of monetization of TikTok anywhere.

Re: Indian IT Industry
OT, I think that anything Chinese should be fair game for copying or stealing, given their blatant disregard for IPR. In fact, they probably even copied whatever they have from someone else anyway. I think that India should devote some attention to the mass of Chinese junk (mostly low tech), Amazon Basics items are a good example, that comes in from China and make good quality, reasonably priced versions of them and take over that market.Prithwiraj wrote:darshan wrote:Is this homegrown by Reliance?

Back to the topic, I think that copying the UI has a simple explanation and does not mean that the tech stack is copied. What has happened in the last 3-4 months is that Zoom usage has grown exponentially due to the Chinese engineered virus/lockdown (Zoom BTW is virtually a Chinese company even if it is registered in the US), and all those millions of users are not familiar with Zoom. Whereas Webex or Go To Meeting etc were mostly used by businesses and stayed that way through the lockdown, Zoom is being used by all sorts of common people from students/teachers/schools etc, to families and friends getting together. So the similarity in the UI is an intentional strategy to make it easy and familiar for users to migrate to Jio Meet. The 'copying' basically applies to the UX and not the core tech stack. This is commonly done by all and sundry, for e.g virtually all network equipment copies the CLI experience from either Cisco or Juniper.

Re: Indian IT Industry
^^ Indian business barons give zero importance to development of software products -- for them, old-style manufacturing and services is still the way to go. New age software products are still beyond their comprehension or interest even though their valuation can go into billions of dollars. Solutions that connect people with each other (Tik Tok, Zoom, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) etc. is where the valuations are but Indian businessman would rather open a factory
Re: Indian IT Industry
Developing tech products takes lot of investment. Even in US, maybe only 1 in 1000 are successful. But that one successful will make up for the loss in 999 failed ones. There is only very limited opportunity in India to recoup any investment developing tech products. There is no IPO markets for tech companies. Only option is to sell out like flipkart.

Zoho's story is inspirational for many tech entrepreneurs but not for outside investors. He bootstrapped the company and took 20+ years. It is not a practical path for non tech business barrons to invest.

Re: Indian IT Industry
Have a close friend working for a large silicon valley company(you can guess who). They told me how worried they where china will use india as launching pad to expand into other markets world wide for various apps (it was one of Chinese gov main goal to end SV dominance) in fintech, search, browser, business productivity apps so it not just tiktok. Especially with US reputation being damaged by trump, China could seal off SV from other markets.
However China basically seem to have shot themselves in the foot and apparently there was sigh of relief in their recent company meetings.

I was trying the just launched SM app Elyments, couldn't get pass the OTP. Looks like scalability issue they didn't plan for.

It will be more of if anyone ready to pump that much money than technical.

In the social media (Short Video Format) app space, I can see a new Josh & spark lit up within 10 days. Previously this space was filled up only with pessimism & "Hum/Tum se naa ho payega" syndrome. Ban of 59 Chinese apps by GOI has charged up the moral (& business case) of the desi developers. Hope some at least moderately successful products comes out & sustains in market for long run.
China banned Goggle, Facebook , Twitter to its 140 cr population market & built domestic giants like BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent), which has now respectable size, tech manpower base & product rolled on as well as on pipeline.
Hope this ban of Chinese app stays at least for 5 year (If not for perpetual)
The race to build an Indian social network
10 min read . Updated: 07 Jul 2020, 08:15 AM IST // Prasid Banerjee
NEW DELHI : Over the past three months, home-grown variants of short-video social networking apps have cruised through some unusual times. Border tensions and #BoycottChina campaigns had already resulted in a steady uptick in their user base. And then came the ban on 59 Chinese apps on the evening of 29 June, which targeted TikTok, Helo, Vigo Video and Bigo Live, among others.
By 9pm that evening, merely an hour after the announcement which hadn’t even come into effect yet, hourly installations spiked, with 300,000 to 400,000 people downloading the app every hour, according to Sumit Ghosh of Chingari, one of the several India-made apps vying to be a TikTok alternative. Within days, daily active users tripled on Roposo, another Indian short-video app.
With roughly 200 million Indians waiting to be snapped up, a mad dash has ensued to build a viable Indian social network from the ground up. While the Indian government’s ban targets a slew of apps—from browsers to file-sharing platforms—only a few segments have any real “Indian" alternatives. E-commerce platforms like Shein and Club Factory were also banned, but Flipkart and Myntra, which are the supposed Indian options, already have mature user bases.
The race for “indigenization" has thus essentially fallen on the shoulders of social media firms, particularly short-video apps. The prize: the eyeballs of erstwhile users from “Bharat" who were on the banned Chinese apps, which together had nearly one-fourth the total number of users currently on Facebook, the world’s largest social platform.
Chingari’s Ghosh said he wants to reach 100 million users in three months, which is the same target that Shivank Agarwal, founder of Mitron, another short-video app, has set for himself. For comparison, it took ByteDance 200 days to develop Duyin (TikTok’s Chinese variant) and about a year to reach 100 million users.
The tearing hurry within the Indian app ecosystem is fuelled by uncertainty over how long the ban on TikTok may last. Business plans are being crafted with the assumption that it will last at least 90 days.And this brief period may be the only window of opportunity. In the social media space, it’s nearly impossible to topple a platform that has made it big. TikTok didn’t topple either Facebook or Instagram. It merely created a new niche for itself by introducing short-videos.
“It’s a phenomenal and unprecedented opportunity for startups to build something that is world-class, with content and experiences designed keeping Indian users in mind," said Arun Tadanki, lead of LetsVenture, a Bengaluru-based technology platform that connects angel investors with startups.
“The pace at which an app like Mitron is progressing right now, at the end of three or six months, they’ll probably have 100-200 million users. And then, it’s a completely different game even if those (banned) apps are allowed to come back," he added.
For now, even investors want to get a piece of the action. Mitron raised ₹2 crore in a seed round from Tadanki and 3One4 Capital. Tadanki said the deal was one of the fastest in his career. Chingari, on the other hand, is raising funds too and plans to go for a Series A round of investment, skipping the seed round altogether.
The Indian government waded in late last week with its own app innovation challenge, which seeks to incubate home-grown apps in key sectors. But this short burst of excitement will soon have to grapple with some real challenges. Building a social network requires deep pockets, a large innovative workforce, and a market where digital advertising revenue is substantial, among other factors. Even tech giants like Google have tried and failed many times.
Merely cloning the TikTok experience will not work, says technology and policy consultant Prasanto K. Roy. “Source code for lookalikes of popular apps like Zoom are available on various websites and can be bought for as little as $25. But that isn’t enough," he said. “Essentially, this vacuum in the market is an opportunity, but it’s an opportunity for very few players," he added.

Re: Indian IT Industry
Brothers, I'm looking for an Indian made browser for my laptop, which runs on WinXP.
The support from Google Chrome is not good / has expired for Win XP, resulting in images not appearing , videos in sites like Twitter are not playing, etc.
I'm unable to see images even on sites such as BRF, and have to resort to my smartphone.
A quick web search has shown browsers like Epic, Indian, Bharat,etc. are available.
But how good and safe are they?
Will using these in lieu of Google Chrome enable me to access Twitter and BRF content?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Reason for change is pages with images/videos no longer supported in XP and Chrome, a desire to support Indian products, privacy concerns ,etc.

^ Because XP: it's still very fast, efficient and productive, some legacy software works well. ( I know abt Virtual XP, but still).
I bought the laptop in 2008, and want to keep using it till it dies. It's quite good, a Lenovo machine.
I got another Windows 10 laptop which my kids use, it's slow and sluggish, and frankly weird in its tablet like layout. I bought it in 2018, from HP, it's slow and overrated.
I don't want Ubuntu or Linux.

Why not switch to Ubuntu with dual os set up to browse internet?
Darshanji, please excuse but non techie. Have a brain dead old Toshiba satellite- 13 year vintage. Ubuntu is the only way. But got stuck boring with latest Ubuntu Distro. Two part request:
1. For a non- techie please suggest a work around.
2. Very, very non- techie. Forgotten everything about Unix that I could. What's an easy tutorial for learning to use Ubuntu. Couldn't even find my file folders.
OT Post Over. Mods TIA for indulgence.

Disappointing to not see them to avail to home grown competition. At least there's competition brewing.

Re: Indian IT Industry
Is Abhijit Iyer-Mitra's scathing assessment of the Indian IT sector well considered? Or is he being very unfair and vicious with regard to "cyber coolies". India needs those people! And if Indians aren't doing it, other countries will get the jobs- Brazil, Russia, Philippines, Vietnam et al. Yes, of course it would be nice to see more Indian products and apps. But let's not belittle people doing honest work.
Re: Indian IT Industry
Doesn't India have huge population to practically be in all areas? Just need to streamline education centers to pump out graduates in the areas of their interests. Need to take out all the useless classes to speed up graduates and prevent them from being brainwashed by urban naxals.

Safety and Windows XP are contra-indicated. XP is way EOL (end of life) and there are no patches released by Microsoft. And a web browser is a good vector for malware these days.dinesh_kimar wrote:Brothers, I'm looking for an Indian made browser for my laptop, which runs on WinXP.
The support from Google Chrome is not good / has expired for Win XP, resulting in images not appearing , videos in sites like Twitter are not playing, etc.
I'm unable to see images even on sites such as BRF, and have to resort to my smartphone.
A quick web search has shown browsers like Epic, Indian, Bharat,etc. are available.
But how good and safe are they?
Will using these in lieu of Google Chrome enable me to access Twitter and BRF content?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Reason for change is pages with images/videos no longer supported in XP and Chrome, a desire to support Indian products, privacy concerns ,etc.
My suggestion - like others - is to wipe out the OS and put Ubuntu on it.
Re: Indian IT Industry
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra is a gasbag with an incredibly poor opinion about India and knows little about the fields that he is supposedly an expert in ( Defense research, engineering, etc. ). He is a hotel management grad with no experience of working in any industry. Think of him as a typical lootyens journalist/opinion-maker media person the only difference being that he is culturally right-wing.Varoon Shekhar wrote:Is Abhijit Iyer-Mitra's scathing assessment of the Indian IT sector well considered?

About the IT sector: Yes, the origin of Indian IT sector was in services outsourcing ( coolies ) and the majority of the work is still in this sector. However it is improving day by day. We have large amount of indigenously developed apps and web services and a rich entrepreneurial ecosystem. As regarding MNCs we should realize that the day is still very far when we can have an Apple, Google, or Microsoft in our country ( even other rich developed nations don't have them ). Better our people are employed there than others for the time being.
