Harsh Goenka's Thought-Provoking Post
Recently, Harsh Goenka, the Chairman of RPG Group, shared an interesting thought on X. He asked users to imagine a situation wherein America actually banned the usage of popular platforms like Instagram, Google, and X in India. All owned by American companies, the platforms have become essential in daily digital life-be it Instagram for Reels, X for trending updates, Google for information, and ChatGPT for answers. Goenka described it as “scary to imagine” and invited netizens to share their opinions and probable backup plans.
Public Reactions and Opinions
- Several users commented, representing various points of view. A few said such a ban may reduce social media addiction, increase focus, and give more time to spend with families. Others pointed out that Indian tech companies like Zoho and Aarti would emerge as local options.
- Many users pointed out that American companies would have to face huge financial losses once a big market like India was cut off, amounting to the loss of billions in revenue. Some drew a parallel with China and said India should also come up with its own apps and digital ecosystem.
- One commenter noted that former U.S. President Donald Trump, himself a businessman, would never make such a decision because it is patently against economic interests.
