Moj is not the first app that is being offered as an alternative to TikTok in India. Many apps have been introduced before this, like Chingari, Roposo and Mitron App. All these apps have made their place in the short video space for some time now and after the ban of TikTok, they have received a good response from the users. The most popular app among all is Mitron App. Chingari app was launched in the year 2018, which till now 50 lakh people have downloaded it on their devices. Roposo app was launched in the year 2014, which has been downloaded by 5 crore people. Mitron app was launched in April this year and till now it has received more than 1 crore downloads. Apart from all this, recently Zee5 has also announced that it is going to launch its short video platform HiPi soon, where users will be able to create their short video clips and share them with friends like TikTok.

Suddenly the race to make short video apps in India has increased due to anti-Chinese sentiments. The Indian government recently banned 59 apps including TikTok. On June 29, the Ministry of Electronics and IT issued a press release and ordered that the Ministry has banned these apps under the provisions of Section 69 of the IT Act and IT Rules 2008. This decision has been taken considering these apps as a threat to India’s sovereignty, unity, security and public order. The most popular app among all these banned apps is TikTok, which had more than 200 million users in the country. After the government order, TikTok was removed from Google Play Store and App Store and later it stopped working in the phones of those users in whose phones this app was already present.
