After the TikTok ban, its parent company Byte Dance announced that more investments will be made in India and the number of employees will also be increased. The company relied on the Indian judicial system, saying that the company expects this app to be available for Indian users again. Not only this, the company even said that it would cause loss of free speech in India if the ban is not lifted.
