Foreign media: Three cabinet members of Indian Prime Minister Modi are pushing for the use of domestic alternatives to replace applications from American companies such as Google and Microsoft, which is the strongest support for "Made in India" products against the backdrop of U.S.-India trade tensions.
After the United States imposed a 50% tariff on Indian imported goods, Modi called for the use of local "swadeshi" products. This week, the Indian Minister of Information Technology used the local software Zoho instead of Microsoft PowerPoint for a presentation and said that the map came from the local MapmyIndia rather than Google Maps. In addition, the Indian Arattai chat application saw a surge in downloads under the promotion of the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Education.
However, Indian brands still face challenges in replacing global brands, as they often cannot match them in terms of financial power and influence.
