If you are a TikTok fan in India and have been using VPNs to access the platform following its “permanent” ban in the country, we have some good news for you. TikTok might soon officially make its return to India as ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is looking to join hands with an Indian firm. Check out the details below right now!
TikTok was initially banned by the Indian government back in 2020 as part of the country’s fight against Chinese entities. Although there were reports, hinting at the possible return of the platform in India, it never happened.
However, much like what Krafton faced with BGMI, ByteDance will need to follow certain authoritative rules set by the government to operate in India. They will need to store user data locally in India and might also have to rename its brand. ByteDance could use Hiranandani’s reach and resources such as the Tez platforms and the data centers to support its technical infrastructure for this.
