“The app is only for rich people. I don’t want to expand into poor countries like India and Spain”.The company has since denied the remarks stating, through its attorneys:
“The simple fact is that he (Pompliano) knows exactly nothing about Snap’s current metrics. He and his lawyers are — not to put too fine a point on matters — just making things up,”The attorneys termed Pompliano a “disgruntled employee fired for poor performance”.
Before the statement, Indians did not take the comment lightly and took to social media to lash out at the statement from the CEO.
"First of all, I didn't even want to give any freakin' star to this app. Evan (CEO of Snapchat) shows how stupid he is by saying this. I bet 3/4th of his company is run by Indian employees. If he didn't want to expand it to poor countries, then why is this app free? Why didn't he put any charges on it?" a user wrote on App Store, condemning the CEO.Some users wrote:
"Poor India & Spain need better than Snapchat", "Good bye, My Snapchat Account and Snap Inc. You'll be product of gone by era and derision", and "Poor Evan Spiegel".The app was also trolled on Twitter. #boycottsnapchat became the most trending hashtag on Twitter overnight.

Take it or leave it, u are chronically stupid. Even dey they r poor, such statement shodnt b made in d public idiot you. It's obvious u dnt manage a business to feel what it will be lik wen jst 1/3 of ur customers back out from ur business. You and him are stupid, period
Well, it's the truth. If it was Nigeria that was mentioned, Nigerians won't uninstall
Lol...oga Snapchat you don see urself
That is no talk at all... He isn't diplomatic at all.
Wether he said it or not, one thing that interests me most is the fact that Indians are uniting to send a msg to the Mgt of snapchart on their displeasure on the statement. That is one thing my fellow Nigerians will hardly do when the need arises. We're better at "cyber bullying" each other & being bitter at ourselves. #Smh #LemeHideB4TheyCome4me
The man is saying d truth na oo... Dont kno y Indians r angry
Nigerians are commenting about India .. very funny.. they themselves are beggar .. they always want to get money by begging it. you can see the face of Nigeria when you enter to this country from airport itself. Airport officers starts asking for bribe. in Nigeria even if you see any police officer or army officer you will never feel safe because they also ask for money ..what type of country it is ..every person is bribing. and still Nigerians are commenting poor about India. seriously ??
