Indian Foot Prints in Digital Applications
Indian Foot Prints in Digital Application. The Government of India’s decision of banning applications based in China does not come as a surprising news. The growing anti-China sentiment and Prime Minister of India’s call towards self-sustainability of India as a nation maybe the reasons behind this step. And it cannot come at a more right time, what with the India-China border dispute at the forefront.
The Government of India has taken its stand. So, how we, the people of the nation can support the cause of a self-sufficient nation. Here we discuss the best Indian alternatives to the existing apps irrespective of their origin.
Indian applications have always been overshadowed by apps from other countries for the lack of global outreach. But Desi apps, as we refer to them, are not in lag in quality nor in user experience;
1.ShareChat: The Indian app that gives the same glee as Tik-tok but in no way is a copycat, Sharechat is much more. A no-english app which is available in more than 10 Indian languages, we can share jokes, GIF, audio, quotes and videos. With the risk of data security associated with tik-tok, Sharechat is the best alternative.
2.Epicweb Browser: With UC Browser accused of data privacy issues and now the ban, epic web browser can be seen as best internet browser of indian origin. An in built virus protection gives this browser a cutting edge over other browsers.
3.ShareAll: Inappropriate content and concerns over data privacy have always been a matter of extreme sensitivity with the Shareit app. Like its alternative Shareit, ShareAll supports transfer of any files even without internet access or cables.
4.JioMeet and Say Namaste: Zoom, the chines group calling or meeting app gained extensive popularity during the times of the corona crisis, but has been accused of slack in data privacy. Re-routing call through a china based server added an authenticity to this accusation. To protect ourselves from this breach of security, Jio has come up with Jiomeet. And Say Namaste has all the requirement to hold important conferences.
5.Hike: This is a messenger app, similar to whatsapp with the better feature of permitting communication even through SMS. A great concept that is slowly catering to the cultural and class diversity in India.
The above are but some apps that are already gaining popularity with the millennials. As we have ascertained, the made in India applications have more connect culturally to the people of India. All they lack is the global unification and understandably so, since their aim has been to cater Indian audience. With the concerns in data privacy and security over the market dominated by Chinese applications, the potential of “Desi apps” have to be realized and embraced by the society.
Employment, advancement as well as increase in GDP can be achieved all at once with this one step. Instead of being swept up in the tide of mass acknowledgment of apps made popular by sheer advertisement and numbers, let’s check out the more authentic and democratic apps that are susceptible to questioning at any breach of privacy and security.
