Battle of Asian Giants enters www China blocking Indian Cos

August 27, 2008 · Filed Under News by News·

Talking about emerging asian economies Tringme’s founder Yusuf Motiawala sent this today.
“It’s all about India-China relation and how China doesn’t return India’s hospitality. Take for instance our company, TringMe. TringMe, as you may know is a very successful startup operating globally. TringMe’s user-base comes from all over the globe and is extremely popular in China : we have a large number of paying customers in China including a Chinese social network with 3 million users using our services. Now all of a sudden, Chinese government decided to block TringMe, how fair is it? Infact, several loyal users from China wrote to us about it and we have been trying hard to help them out. They form a significant part of our user-base and have been key to our success so far.”

“We do not have any offensive content that could be deemed inappropriate for such a irrational decision. All that we try to do is enable voice and telephony from internet. Our company’s charter is to establish ourselves as the de-facto web-based voice and telephony platform. Given that over a fifth of the world population lives in China and that our valued customers in China are caught unaware, a decision like this continues to affects companies like us who are really trying to bridge the digital divide and unify the various forms of voice communication devices.”

“Chinese products have found in-ways into all markets of the world. While India continues to promote Chinese products everywhere, either it is a local market, electronics store or even a government organization like BSNL that introduces Chinese Telecom products into every home (as DSL modems), China apparently has no qualms in blocking an Indian company entering their market. We find this unfair, obtrusive and request help from media houses like you to voice our opinion to a global consumer.”
