The AI chatbot space just got a whole lot more interesting with the entry of DeepSeek. It is a promising new player that caught early attention but quickly faced the reality of stiff competition from OpenAI’s ChatGPT. A recent study by Bobble AI’s Market Intelligence division dives into the first six weeks of DeepSeek’s launch. It uncovers key insights about user behavior, app installs, and engagement trends. Here’s a closer look at how DeepSeek performed and what it means for the future of AI chatbots.
Engagement Drop: A sharp decline in usage after Week 3 suggests that users weren’t fully convinced.
ChatGPT’s Consistency: The reigning chatbot retained user loyalty with strong and stable metrics.
Room to Grow: DeepSeek must evolve quickly to compete in a fast-moving market.
Bobble AI’s CEO Ankit Prasad summed it up best, “Marketing can spark interest, but performance drives long-term success.” DeepSeek has shown potential, but to truly challenge ChatGPT, it must now focus on consistent innovation and user-centric improvements. The race is on, and DeepSeek has everything to prove.

Rising US tariffs on China and Vietnam are pushing Apple and Samsung to shift manufacturing to India. The ‘Make in India’ initiative is gaining momentum as companies look to avoid steep import duties while boosting supply chain resilience for the US market.
Both Apple and Samsung are now looking at India not just for local sales but as a major production and export base for the US, a move triggered by new tariffs announced by the Trump administration.
Apple Prioritizes India For US Shipments
Apple has already begun using its Indian production facilities to ship iPhones to the United States. The goal is to sharply reduce dependence on China, which now faces a 54 percent tariff on exports to the US. India, by comparison, faces a relatively lower tariff of 26 percent, making it a more attractive option.
Foxconn And Tata Driving Local iPhone Production
Apple’s Indian manufacturing is being handled by Foxconn and the Tata Group. Tata recently acquired production assets from Taiwanese firms Wistron and Pegatron, strengthening its role in Apple’s supply chain. Industry insiders say this could lead to a significant expansion in Apple’s Indian operations, especially if the brand avoids setting up new plants in other low-tariff countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Brazil.
Potential Surge In iPhone Exports From India
iPhone shipments to the US from India are expected to surge past the current $10 billion estimate. A lot will depend on how the geopolitical trade negotiations evolve, but Apple appears committed to leveraging India’s manufacturing ecosystem for future growth.
Samsung May Shift Exports From Vietnam To India
For Samsung, the scenario is equally urgent. Its Vietnamese factories currently export around $55 billion worth of goods, but a 46 percent tariff may push the company to pivot to India’s Noida plant, which already produces flagship models like the Galaxy S25 and Fold.
India’s Global Manufacturing Role Strengthens
Trade negotiators are closely monitoring these changes. With countries like Vietnam proposing zero-duty exports, India is using the opportunity to push its global manufacturing ambitions and strengthen bilateral trade negotiations with the US.
As tariff dynamics continue to evolve, India’s role as a global smartphone manufacturing hub is set to grow, potentially redefining the future of tech exports.

Want to install Windows 11 but don’t want to create or sign in with a Microsoft account? Well, you are not alone. With Microsoft pushing users towards its online account system, many people prefer a good old local account for privacy and simplicity. However, there’s still a clever workaround that works with the latest Windows 11 24H2 update. Whether you are doing a clean install or setting up a new laptop, this guide will walk you through the current method to bypass the Microsoft account requirement.
Step-by-Step: Install Windows 11 Without A Microsoft Account
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Begin the Windows 11 installation. When you reach the ‘Choose your country or region’ screen, pause. This is where you prepare to block the mandatory Internet connection check.
Step 2: Press Shift + F10 to launch the command prompt window.
Step 3: Type this command exactly: OOBE\BYPASSNRO and press Enter. Your PC will restart and bring you back to the same setup screen, now with the Internet check bypassed.
Step 4: Once the system reboots, press Shift + F10 again. In the Command Prompt, type ipconfig /release and hit Enter. This will disable the network. Alternatively, unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off your Wi-Fi.
Step 5: Close the command prompt and go through the region and keyboard selection screens as usual.
Step 6: When Windows asks to connect to a network, click on ‘I don’t have Internet’.
Step 7: You will be prompted with ‘Continue with limited setup.’ Click it, and Windows will let you create a local account.
Step 8: Now you will see the screen asking ‘Who’s going to use this device?’ Enter a name, set a password (optional but recommended), and continue the installation.
With this method, you can successfully install Windows 11 without a Microsoft account, even on the latest 24H2 build. It’s a simple trick but gives you full control over your setup and privacy.

Scammers trick people into merging calls to steal OTPs and money
Never merge calls with unknown numbers or share OTPs
Report suspicious calls to your bank and the cybercrime helpline (1930)
A new scam is on the rise in India. The fraudsters are tricking people into merging calls and unknowingly sharing their OTPs. This allows scammers to complete unauthorized transactions and steal money. Authorities have warned users to be extra cautious and avoid merging calls with unknown numbers. Let’s get to know more.
A scammer calls, pretending to be a friend or someone who got your number from a known contact.
They ask you to merge the call with another number, claiming it’s your friend or a bank representative.
The second call is actually an OTP verification call from your bank and the scammer tricks you into sharing the OTP.
Once the OTP is shared, the fraudster completes the transaction and steals money from your account.
How To Protect Yourself
Never merge calls with unknown numbers: Be cautious when someone asks you to add another caller.
Verify the caller’s identity: If someone claims to be your friend or a bank official, call them back on a trusted number to confirm.
Report suspicious OTP requests: If you receive an OTP for a transaction you didn’t request, call 1930 (cybercrime helpline) and notify your bank immediately.
Why You Should Be Concerned
A recent survey found that over one-third of people in India have been victims of online scams. According to a report by global analytics firm FICO:
60 percent of people received scam messages.
54 percent knew someone who had been scammed.
The number of people losing more than Rs. 8 lakh doubled in 2024 compared to 2023.
What To Do If You Merged A Call With A Scammer?
Don’t share any OTPs or personal details.
Hang up immediately and contact your bank.
Call 1930 to report the scam.
Monitor your bank account for suspicious transactions.
Scammers are finding new ways to trick people, but awareness is the best protection. Never share OTPs over the phone, and always verify calls before taking action.
