According to news report, ByteDance Ltd. is ready to sale of TikTok’s Indian operations to rival Unicorn turned firm Glance to revive the once-thriving short video sharing app that is indefinitely banned in the South Asian nation. The talks were started by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group Corp., according to people familiar with the talks, who declined to be identified because the talks are both private and early and complex.

SoftBank supports Glance’s InMobi Pte parent, as well as TikTok’s Chinese parent ByteDance. The discussions are four-sided, people said. Talks are taking place between SoftBank, ByteDance, and Glance and ultimately each deal must be approved by the Indian authorities. India banned thousands of Chinese apps last year, including TikTok, after it came under severe attack on the Indochina border.
