Indian startups fast recruiting talent from banned Chinese apps

New Delhi: A number of Indian startups in the field of social media that came into prominence following the ban on TikTok and Helo, along with other Chinese apps in June, confirmed on Thursday that they are attracting talent from these companies as they face uncertainty over their India operations in the long run.

Chinese unicorn ByteDance, which owns TikTok and Helo, has nearly 2,000 employees in India.

“We’ve got various interests from the employees of ByteDance and other competitive companies. We have received close to 100 resumes from them,” Sumit Ghosh, CEO and Co Founder, Chingari App, told IANS.
