TLDR:

  • local companies rushed to meet their demand, including MX TakaTak, Chingari, and Moj
  • meta launched reels, YouTube launched shorts

No mention of users in India rushing out to download and install similar Chinese-language apps. 🤔

From first hand experience, Instagram reels took the crown with YT shorts in the second place.

In my circle, I haven't seen anyone use local social media apps

That's a bit sad, I was hoping to hear the Indian apps having traction.
