Home-grown mobile apps crop up to replace banned Chinese creations

Pune: Within eight days since the ban on Chinese mobile apps, developers have jumped into the market with desi replacements. Be it Dhak Dhak, a replacement for TikTok, Scan Karo for CamScanner, or ShareChat for Shareit, users have also quickly moved on to Indian apps.

Developed by Desktop Infosolution jointly with Kuausmedia Entertainment, Dhak Dhak is a step ahead of TikTok. Sagoon and Sridevi Wagh, partners at Kuausmedia, said the app will help people showcase their talent. Sridevi said, “We will select artists from the videos and users must upload 15-30 seconds of video on the app. The best will be given an opportunity in our projects.”
