Welcome to the latest edition of "Inside India" — your one-stop destination for stories and developments from the world's fastest-growing large economy. The success of Gen Z protests in India has handed a surprise victory to Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, cementing its position as the most influential social media company in the world's largest democracy.

On the other hand, Google's YouTube had 646 million, and Elon Musk's X had 15 million, making Meta the dominant social media company in India. In sharp contrast, several attempts have been made by Indian entrepreneurs to create homegrown social media challengers, but they have had little success.
