Taaran Chanana, MD and Co-Founder of MemeChat, said, The fact that WhatsApp Facebook and Instagram going down for more than 5-6 hours just shows how important homegrown apps are to its country and that we cannot rely on overseas platforms be it for social media, communication or entertainment.It’s been happening recently many times in the last few months if you notice. Earlier for few minutes, then for an hour or two, and now for more than 5 hours and more.

Fortunately, India houses many homegrown apps to fulfill the need of internet users. These apps have proven their worth in the heavily competitive Indian market with features, connectivity, and agility that are at par with the best in the world. They provide users and marketers with more reliable and stable platforms for every need, be it communication, personal expression, connecting with others, or marketing. From our personal experience at Memechat, we have seen our users switching to Indian apps with ease.”
