India is a huge market. Wouldn't other local companies in other domains see how much money Jio is making and try to compete with them? Tata, etc.?

They won't improve. I'm willing to bet on it.

They are getting into the advertising business. Advertisers and privacy/security don't go together.

India is just getting used to the internet. Massive market. Billion users.

Advertisers and security/privacy do work well together, from a certain point of view.

As Jio, if I'd clone Zoom, I would add encryption, so that only I, Jio, would be able to analyze that traffic. Same thing with WhatsApp.

e2ee in JioChat was just not even implemented. They just copied whatsapp.
