Jio-Facebook deal under scrutiny of Indian antitrust watchdog
The much ballyhooed $5.7 billion (Rs 43, 574 crore) investment by Facebook in Jio Platforms, a subsidiary of India's most valued firm, Reliance Industries, may face investigations from the Indian antitrust watchdog.
According to a news report from Bloomberg, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) is reviewing Facebook’s purchase of 9.9% stake in Jio Platforms.
The news report, based on an email interview with Ashok Kumar Gupta, the chairman of CCI, did not specify anything in particular about the Jio-Facebook deal. But Ashok Kumar was quoted saying that, if need be, the existing rules of CCI may be amended to investigate some existing deals.

ByteDance in talks with India’s Reliance for investment in TikTok
Chinese giant ByteDance is engaging in early discussions with Reliance Industries Limited for backing TikTok’s business in India in a move to potentially save the popular video app’s fate in its biggest market by users, two people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch.
TikTok has been banned in India since June 29 as a fallout of geo-political tensions with China that led New Delhi to block the app along with 58 other Chinese apps over security and privacy concerns.
India was TikTok’s largest market outside of China with over 200 million users. ByteDance employs 2,000 people in the country whose fate hangs on the company’s ability to either convince the government to allow them to operate or sell itself.
