Mitron, Roposo and Bolo Indya: Meet the 3 Indian rivals for TikTok

With Narendra Modi’s ‘vocal for local’ initiative, several startups are working on Indian versions of popular apps such as Zoom, WhatsApp, TikTok, among others. Inspired by the same line of thinking, a Mumbai-based startup has developed India’s own version of TikTok called Bolo Indya, for now, available on Google Play store. There’s also Mitron, developed by IIT Roorkee student Shivank Agarwal and Roposa — created by a Gurgaon based developer.

The Mitron app is currently available only on Google Play store, but has received 5 million downloads. It’s direct competition to TikTok, so much so that the UI of the app is exactly the same as TikTok. The video style, the same tracks, the same videos, the same camera design, everything is similar to TikTok except for the bugs.https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/social/mitron-roposo-bolo-indya-tiktok-india-rival-6431603/
