Tiktok- A place for diversity

TikTok today has over 200 million users in India that are spread across the length and breadth of the country. It is a place where everyone belongs – regardless of nationality, ethnicity, profession, gender etc. TikTok as an inclusive platform, encourages its users to be their authentic selves and embrace their flaws, while finding a community that does the same. This has led TikTok to be the unique content creation platform for everyone.

Its mission is to inspire creativity and spread joy and all the users on the platform do exactly that. Available in 10 Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Malayalam, and Punjabi, the beauty of the app lies in the fact that anyone with a basic smartphone and an internet connection can make a video of their own – leading to diverse range of content creation.

Over the last two years, a few key themes have emerged in India on TikTok. One of the most popular themes is Education. Users are interested in eTips, learning a language, watching motivational videos, seeking career advice and learning tech hacks. Another popular theme has been Food, where users are not only looking at various videos to learn recipes, but also skim through food tastings and foods that cover different cuisines from India and the world. Of course, users are also looking for fitness and health tips, learning various workouts and even watching videos that promote mental health. We have also seen an uptake in beauty and fashion videos, with users consuming videos that showcase make-up tutorials, DIY techniques; how to wear a saree and even to mix and match clothes.
