Google temporarily restores Indian firms’ apps on Play Store after regulatory intervention


Indian firms whose apps were delisted by Google last week have begrudgingly started to comply with Play Store billing rules to return to the store.

In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Murugavel Janakiraman, chief executive of Bharat Matrimony said that sideload is not a viable option for the company as it has more than 150 apps on the Play Store. Info Edge co-founder Sanjeev Bikchandani, whose firm makes apps like Naukri for job seeking and 99Acres for property listing, has asked the Competition Commission for India (CCI) to take action against Google. Snehil Khanor, co-founder and CEO of dating service TrulyMadly, along with other founders, argued that Google hasn’t complied with an earlier CCI’s ruling to let developers use a third-party billing system.
