🎙️ Saade Aala Radio: Why China’s Tech Can’t Work in India 🇨🇳🤝🇮🇳 | Culture > Code

In this episode, we dive deep into the biggest misconception about technology — that it can work the same everywhere.
We talk about China’s insanely advanced tech, the apps they use, and how their innovation ecosystem is miles ahead of India — but still wouldn’t work here.
Because tech isn’t just about gadgets and code… it’s about culture.

🧠 1. Why China is Light Years Ahead
We talk about how China has moved way beyond just “cheap manufacturing.”
From facial recognition payments to drones delivering food to AI teachers — China’s tech is on steroids.
They’ve built an ecosystem where even grandmas can pay for dumplings with their face.
Meanwhile, in India, we still argue with shopkeepers over ₹2 Paytm cashback. 😅

🌏 2. Culture Decides Technology’s Fate
Then we discuss why these technologies won’t work in India.
Because India’s biggest problem isn’t lack of innovation — it’s our culture of jugaad.
We don’t follow systems; we find shortcuts.
In China, discipline builds systems. In India, emotion breaks them.
You can bring the best tech here, but it’ll be used for marriage invites, fake IDs, or astrology apps in two weeks. 💀

📱 3. When Apps Meet Attitude
We talk about how apps that thrive in China — from live shopping to citizen surveillance — would crash and burn in India’s chaotic, democratic circus.
Imagine trying to build a face-scan payment system in Punjab — half the population would be wearing shades and turbans saying “mera data leak na hoye.” 😂

🎭 4. The Bigger Truth: Tech Needs Trust
Tech runs on trust. China built it (forcefully). India questions everything — and that’s both our strength and our weakness.
Our democracy makes us creative, but also chaotic.
And that’s what makes India… beautifully dysfunctional.

🎧 Why Watch?
Because we don’t just talk about tech — we talk about why tech behaves differently in different societies.
This episode blends comedy, culture, and chaos — the true Saade Aala Radio formula.
