BENGALURU: The next WhatsApp or similar company that will have a worldwide base of users, will be conceptualised in India, Abhijit Bose, CEO of WhatsApp India said recently.In town for the inaugurural of CMR Institute of Technology (CMRIT’s) annual national-level inter-collegiate Cultural, Technical & Management fest ‘CMR Cultura’19, Bose said many may not even know we are sitting in a window of immense potential.

“We are entering probably one of the greatest opportunities to be a business leader, an engineer, somebody coming into the workforce, not just in India but anywhere in the world. The next WhatsApp, the next Ezetap will not be coming from the US, but from India and I sincerely believe that. My wife and I left California 14 years ago because we genuinely believe that the next 100 years will be Asian and Indian-centric; it’s been 14 years I thought I was going to be back in San Francisco 10 years ago but I am still here. I envy and congratulate everybody here for the opportunities that are there in front of us,” he said.
