Whether it is home-grown or not, lack of high standards of security makes it all vulnerable. If the Indian govt does not invest in super-high NSA or CIA grade security standards, all such policies are just another way of looting the taxpayers’ money.
The Central Government of India has zero lack of funds to invest in superior quality security standards, it is only a matter of choosing not to due to political propaganda.

In fact, the government is thinking that the data on which the government talks on it is completely stored in India. The official further said that in the beginning this type of app will be used for government communication and if successful, it will be forwarded to the common man.



Now this news that Government is creating a WhatsApp for office use, purely from security concerns.

It is worth mentioning that the news of this plan of the government has come to light recently when the charge of espionage has been put on black list in the US. Also, companies such as Google, Intel and Qualcomm have stopped supporting Chinese Smartphone Maker Huawei.

If the government is worried about security then the homegrown app should be unhackable. Security and privacy absolutely air-tight. Not just for local apps but across their digital presence. As recent as January 2019, the SBI servers were hacked because it lacked a simple password.
