FACT CHECK
We fact-checked the above claims and found them to be misleading.
Tata Cliq is an old shopping website and was launched in 2016. We found this on the official website of the Tata Group under their Newsroom section.
Hence, the above information proves that the claims are misleading as Tata Cliq hasn’t been launched recently during the time of the global pandemic.
