Developers are facing a major setback in their business operations when they are offline, as Google has a monopoly in the Indian market with more than 90 percent of phones running on its Android platform.
Google recently removed several Indian apps from its Play Store for not complying with its billing policies. These apps include popular platforms such as Naukri, Shaadi, and Kuku FM among others.
This move has intensified the strained relationship between Google and some Indian developers who oppose the company’s commission charges on in-app payments. Despite court rulings allowing Google to enforce these fees, developers are feeling the financial impact of being offline.
Criticism towards Google from app developers has been vocal, with some calling the company the “most evil company in the world.” Google, on the other hand, claims that the delisted apps were non-compliant with its billing policy, specifically in handling the commission charges for in-app payments.
The Internet and Mobile Association of India has advised Google against removing any more apps from its Play Store, as several members have already received delisting notices. The industry group believes that Google should not take any further action while the case is pending in the Supreme Court.
