Can India Build a Global-Scale Alternative to WhatsApp? With the growing emphasis on data privacy, digital sovereignty, and self-reliant tech ecosystems, the question arises: Can Indian entrepreneurs develop a homegrown messaging app that rivals WhatsApp, gains mass adoption, and scales globally? India has the talent, the tech infrastructure, and a massive user base to pilot and refine such innovations. However, cracking the code of user trust, seamless UX, end-to-end encryption, and global scalability remains a major challenge. Would love to hear your thoughts: What would it take for an Indian app to become a global messaging leader? Is it just about features, or does timing, trust, and ecosystem integration matter more?
