TikTok's rival made in India app, Chingari, started getting massive hits. The founders took to Twitter to share that the app was getting 100,000 downloads per hour. In fact, the demand was so strong that Sumit Ghosh, Founder of the app appealed to the users to be patient with the downloads as the company servers were unable to keep up with the sudden boost in traffic.

"Chingari team wants to thank the government of India and PMO for this decision to ban Chinese apps This step will take India one step ahead to be an Atmanirbhar economy - free from the clutches of China," Ghosh said.
