New Delhi: In June 2020, the Indian government decided to ban TikTok along with dozens of other Chinese apps. At the time, TikTok had over 200 million users in India – some of whom had become famous on the app and were dismayed by the news. While TikTok has had to give up its largest overseas market, it continues to be one of the fastest growing tech companies in the world.
