How did we find out the truth?: We divided the viral video into multiple keyframes and ran a reverse image search on some of them using Google lens.

  • This led us to a YouTube channel, World In Details, which had shared the same video on 23 February 2024.

  • The description stated, "I am a video creator who making Such videos on India. I'm just trying to show modern and beautiful side of India to the world And trying to grow up tourism and investment in INDIA." (sic)

  • We have also reached out to the user and the story will be updated once we receive a response.

The channel was created in India and is unrelated to the US.

However, a similar video was made by US-based Bloomberg on India’s rising global economic power and can be seen here.

Conclusion: A false claim is going viral online to claim that American TV channels are sharing videos showcasing India's progress in the past 10 years.
