India’s TikTok Stars, and why they’ll need Instagram

India’s TikTok Stars, and why they’ll need Instagram

The Narendra Modi government’s decision to ban TikTok has left thousands of Indian content creators in the lurch.

The short-form video sharing platform, which took India by storm a couple of years back, gave rise to a whole new breed of celebrities in the country: the TikTok stars.

Besides enjoying massive fan following on the Bytedance-owned app, these creators have been earning from TikTok via brand endorsements. Some even left their stable jobs to create content on TikTok.
