TikTok is Chinese. When someone says subcontinent they usually mean the India and its neighbours Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Just an app with Indianised version of a bird sound won't work in the long haul right ?

Social media in subcontinent is really hard since the ARPU is really low compared to the cost required to sustain that scale. All the existing one prevail because most of their revenue comes from US + EU to balance out additional cost in resources.
