India is planning to follow France's footsteps to build a new chat app for government employees. U.S's ongoing tussle is one of the concern, and the Indian government wants to cut reliance on foreign entities by making the communication insular, according to a top govt official. India is facing its own trade issues with US govt and amid that this move would help it to step away from foreign communication apps.
