Snapchat CEO’s statement about India made everyone furious. There were many reports about Evan Spiegel not being interested in expanding to Spain and India because they were “Poor” countries.
We aren’t sure about its authenticity because the statement didn’t come directly from the CEO but was included in the lawsuit filed by Anthony Pampliano, the ex-employee of Snapchat. Yes, Anthony stated that Spiegel had said so while discussing Snapchat’s growth in a company meeting.
Spiegel’s quote has annoyed everyone because last year, Snapchat enjoyed around 4 million users from India itself.
For Indians, this is a BIG insult. The statement “India is too poor for expansion” hasn’t gone down well with many. Social media is filled with angry comments and many people have even uninstalled the application.
Here’s how Twitter users reacted…
Boycott Snapchat!
#Snapchat so called ceo @evanspiegel thinks India and Spain are poor country !?
Lets teach that moron a lesson.
Uninstall.#boycottsnapchat

More than 65% Americans can't afford a college degree in US but Indian's can.
So who's poor? @evanspiegel #Snapchat

.@Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel has said the app is for rich people, don't want to expand in poor countries like India and Spain pic.twitter.com/5Uf8ViOGoz
@CNNnews18 @Snapchat His Mind set is very poor set. There are people in India who can buy his Snapchat and sell it at a loss just like that
The ratings are sure to go down because several users have decided to give it 1 star. What do you have to say about this? We would request our readers to understand that case is in the court and we all should wait for the verdict before uninstalling.
