one has to wonder why whatsapp is not following a "wechat" model in India and take control over the Internet based services industry.
Yes they are touting their "Payment" options, but a catalog of services all inside Whatsapp should be possible right?!
Also to note that whatsapp has around 400 million users in India which is like 80-90% of Indian internet population which gives them enormous opportunity to become market leaders ...
- xmprt 7y agoIf they can't find a foothold in the payment option, how can they expect people to use it for anything else? I don't think the shotgun approach is right or efficient in this case.
- totaldude87 7y agoyeah, my question is more about , why being lethargic in the approach..
- captn3m0 7y agoTheir payments offering needs to roll out better before they can try anything more. It just got cleared by the RBI and will take another year of adoption (my prediction) before WhatsApp gets more serious about businesses and apps. Their E2E promise also bites them a lot (So thankful that Bryan did this before getting acquired).
