Google began the process of removing some Indian apps from the Play Store, citing non-compliance with its payment policies. Info Edge claimed compliance with Play Store policies early this month, with no pending invoices with Google. The Indian government, led by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, took a strong stance against the delisting, scheduling a meeting with Google for next week to resolve the dispute. Following the government's intervention, Google has restored all the previously removed apps, marking a significant morale booster for Indian startups. Vaishnaw expressed optimism about reaching a reasonable agreement with Google, emphasizing the need for clear policies to protect local enterprises.
