Chinese company ByteDance set to suffer Rs 45000 crore loss due to ban on TikTok

[kidney]

Indian governments decision to ban TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps will cause huge financial losses to all these companies with ByteDance TikToks parent company expected to suffer a loss of Rs 45,000 crore (USD 6 billion).

China's state-run media The Global Times reported that ByteDance could lose up to USD 6 billion as a result of the Indian governments decision to ban TikTok, Helo and several other Chinese apps due to security issues.

Interestingly, India wasnt the major source of revenue for TikTok but it was among the top nations to have most downloads for the app. Global Times reported that ByteDance had invested over USD 1 billion in the Indian market in the last few years and the ban could prove disastrous for the company's business in India. Global Times claimed that ByteDance's loss would exceed the potential losses of all the other apps combined.

Sensor Twoer, a mobile app analysis company, has said in a recent report that TikTok was downloaded 112 million times in May, with 20 percent of that total in the Indian market.

The Indian government on Monday banned 59 apps with China links including TikTok, SHAREit, UC Browser, Baidu map, Helo, Mi Community, Club Factory, WeChat and UC News in view of the information available that they were engaged in activity "which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order".

Union Law, Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad justified the decision saying the government has banned apps for safety, security, defence, sovereignty and integrity of India.
