- Google Restores Indian Apps After Major Standoff | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Google has restored dozens of Indian mobile apps, days after they were removed over non-compliance with the new billing system. Google is asking developers to pay 11-26% on in-app payments, a clause considered unfair by some app developers. Palki Sharma tells you how this controversy highlights the need for homegrown tech platforms.

Western companies and their never ending greed has no place in India.
Get outta yt then
@@FirstNameLastName-tm4tg I don't know about you but I've stopped using normal CZcams ages ago because I don't want to support them
@@exceptionallyrisowow great 👍
@@exceptionallyrisowhat do you mean?

India should impose multi billion dollar fine as EU just did it yesterday on Apple.
Why should Apple invest in India? So that they could be taken away by the Indian government 😂
why should apple sell in India then, if not follow rules
Apple market share is not significant in india while in EU it is a different story altogether.
EU officially: charged a fine of 1.8 billion dollar to apple.
True intentions of EU: got a profit of 1.8 billion dollar.
@@mrashoksingh
Apple needs the market, they are corporate. Remember?
This is exactly what happen to epic when they charged apple for app store and same for spotify they asked Apple and Google to add 3rd party appstore and payment gateway in order to reduce the cost of their services because both Google and Apple were charging 30% of every in-app purchase.
Indian government should create its own BHIM UPI version for smartphone app stores, and even make it open for the whole world to use for any transactions in INR. Break the Google and Apple monopoly across the world.
That will bring them crawling on their knees to the negotiating table. While at the same time boosting international Rupee transactions and demand.
Yes exactly, like China we should have our own apps. We have good tech ppl in India who are developing their tech in the US
Phonepe launched indus app store
@@mitrar123will it have same quality apps? Will govt. Regularly check problematic and dangerous apps?
Will u trust any app on that platform? U won't even trust apps of. Samsung store, leave other app stores aside.
Even if there was a BHIM app, what about the mobile operating software platforms, Play Store ..? India needs to create mobile operating software.
@@kavinanil7406 The BHIM like platform I'm talking is similar to play store.
Not sure about the mobile OS though. The App Store is more critical.
we needed our own mobile operating system
Exactly! But lag n spy free.
china has one, you can use
@@blolee-gc1sr No thanks. 🫡
@@blolee-gc1srno need mate
Foreign companies monopoly is dangerous, First We need to start making our OS instead of using Android & iphone
The developer does 95% of the work, why does Google and Apple require like 26% of the developer's income rather than greed?, yes, they need to maintain the service, security..., but that doesn't require huge cut from developer's income, it requires them paying annual fixed fees to Google to maintain their services where the cost depends on requirements for the app developer.
Simple, because they have no competition in the market.
You get to showcase your application in the digital market, that is Play Store.
Ex - Bachelors(apps) living in a house(digital marketplace PLAY STORE) have to pay rent(fee) for using the services.
you sounds like a person who is in teenage or having brain of teenager. While I don't support them charing 26% but dude they are giving you way to make some money. It's their play store which they developed, marketed make it avaiable to billions of users which actually means YOUR app gets exposure to billions of users without you putting much of an effort...and u wanna do it for u..seriously..!!
@@yashkhd1100yeah I can understand what you mean but we can't let Google be a monopoly Google needs a competition
@@JayeshPolkar That is kind of okay..but for obvious reasons Google are not gonna fund competition on itself..someone else needs to do it. They are not preventing anyone to compete. If someone comes and has SAME amount of users as Google has and than if they charge 5% Google will gladly charge 5% or even lower. It's simple business thing...but most of people put their emotions into it.
Just impose heavy sanctions on Google(like EU), promote local ones and give them discounts. And yes, it needs to be unfair
Google is the old horse now 😂😂😂
Serves google right! Next google will start charging subscriptions for search.
We even need to develop and operate our OWN NATIONAL INTERNET !
and that becomes intranet not internet. Rather than this, we could develop own national browser right now...There are some other developments happening in our country and if we go on developing everything at same time then situation will be worse bcz developing a new intranet is not small issue but developing browser is a small one and we can develop intranet later.
well said Palki you appealed to conscience of Indians
Its a shame that we can't develop our own version of play store.
India needs to build an OS which is better than the current Android, only then we will be able to compete.. not an as easy task.
Just make the playstore a choice and uninstallable on every phone instead of making it mandatory app comes with Android os.
What u mean? android os is itself made by google 😂
@@RRgamingmalayalam That doesn't mean it can preload anything it wants.Already we are paying for google while buying the phone for using its os and income from ads in chrome etc there are more ways google earns from your phone your map data, gps data and sell this to partnersof coirse with some privacy for machine learning to sack jobs its not just os its a spy os 😂on phone why would you want google to control where you install apps from, which all lead to this controversy.
@@RRgamingmalayalam It's an open source project.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about Palki. The payment gateway fees is different than platform fees. You can’t even compare Razorpay’s charges with Google’s charges. They both are absolutely different
Right on, Palki! God bless!
Apple takes 30% of all transactions for In-App Purchases; 15% or 30% for Subscriptions
it may be late to develop a alternative of Google play store in India but it is in need of a hour and it makes India not overtly depending on Google. This applies all technologies and bringing them to comply Indian laws.
The new beginning of a wining battle. Jay India. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Really inspiring and vision driven reporting… Hats off Palki…
Thanks for the update My Favourite News Reporter Mrs Palki Sharma
Yeah go ahead create own Google, then develope Android then Playstore then huge mobile tech stack, who is stopping?
Indian gps is still awaited why , just google .
NavIC is available on new iPhone and all Samsung phones sold after 2022, and is mandatory for phones sold after January 2025
NAVIC is present in all phones sold in india
@@jagadishbhatta9562 Waoo din't knew you are ahead of government, who's plan is to make it public by 2025 due to hardware compatible and development issue. Kudos !
@@jagadishbhatta9562 bot account ignore and block them..
@@user-zxjb
Looks like you either don't know how to use Google or knowingly trying to be ignorant 😂🤣
well said Madam Web
true we as citizens also change our habits and start using home grown products.
Still they’re creating an App Store instead creating new type of OS
What happens in Apple app store?
This is high time to develop own web instead yielding to Google, CZcams, x
What is common man's CCI? He has to pay what ever demanded.
phone pe showing ads in every upi transaction and bhim app has no ads
Please have an interview with Nikhil Pahwa on this topic!
What about "RAPIDO" it charges 16.7% as commission and 7.2 % as GST a Total of 24% per ride from its captains.
And what about apple’s App Store and it’s 30% cut!!
Why India do not have their own play store for 2k apps. Atleast in India it will be very much appreciated
I think its high time for an alternative OS and PLAY STORE
Could you be any faster.. it feels like am watching the news on slo mo
Where are our software engineers?
Google how to de-google your phone. 🤡
For maintaining Playstore , Google needs to maintain data centers allover the world for processing , storing and managing data and thats very expensive. It's not just about writing code. Commercialization of products like Playstore is very difficult. So Many new apps are publishing to playstore day by day. So Google charging 30% of App profit for keeping their Playstore makes sense. Instead of Blaming Google focus on giving subsides to Indian app bussienss.
Just ban them local ones will come by itself
Why should they ban them? I want Play Store, i trust PlayStore. Why are u acting like those crorepati Indian companies will be giving u some sort of discount
@@makeyourlifeeasy9619 kaash tum jaise log na hote is desh mein
@user-hq8wm8cl6t you dont understand a thing about tech or cyber security. It's because of people like you we have companies like Ola making fool of indian consumers.
@@user-hq8wm8giyujcg jo apps ki tum side le rahe ho, unhe platform fee dene mai dikkat hori, pr wahi apps humse apne app use krne ka paisa lete, wo theek? wo bhi hume free access dete to baat hoti
Even if we develop our own play store alternative that will be full of scam
Mittal sahab in tension
Didn't Google build their entire infrastructure and pays for the maintenance? If customers don't like it, they can use those no name alternative app stores.
But Apple usually charges 30%, Google is changing less in comparison.
Please don't blame google. Without google/ youtube no one would have been watching firstpost news and associates salary would have been questioned.
Same goes to Google Ads
Now this may sounds harsh but for obvious reasons Google is not gonna create/fund competition for itself..someone else needs to do it. They are not preventing anyone to compete. If someone comes and has SAME(billion users at least) amount of users as Google has and than if they charge 5% Google will gladly charge 5% or even lower. It's simple business thing...but most of people put their emotions into it. There are many stores which charges lower than Google..but guess what they have tiny userbase. At the end of the day...despite higher cut developers are going to make more money on Google store than any other store bcoz of huge amount of users. Just wondering why most of people are getting this wrong at all.
it's good to have phonepe just in case
India must develop a mobile and pc operating systems.
I think in this terms China is doing best I mean their is no google and they push their own apps in their
So our country also wants to push it 🤝👍
we are dependent on them because, we stopped using desktops and laptops and using pathetic smartphones. we can install any OS on a desktop or a laptop and use them without google or the microsoft buffoonery, it's not possible to do that on a smartphone, without unlocking the phone, unlocking the phone makes it impossible to use financial applications !
My store, My rules!
The new gov law on AI will slowdown development
Sundar pichai, a letdown. 🤦♂️
Kick the google ass
indian apps need google wherein google does not need indian apps
India should do this.. should do that.. seriously first fix basic issues and crippling poverty. Start making allies instead of acting too dominant otherwise it will end up all alone with no genuine allies. No wonder Maldives, Srilanka went to Chinese camp.
Same goes to crypto industry
Invent our own app store
India should develop its own site like google as they have huge market; why are they dependent on others;
Even if india depends its own playstore. It wouldn't be free. For maintaining Playstore , Google needs to maintain data centers allover the world for processing , storing and managing data and thats very expensive. It's not just about writing code. Commercialization of products like Playstore is very difficult. So Many new apps are publishing to playstore day by day. So Google charging 30% of App profit for keeping their Playstore makes sense. Instead of Blaming Google focus on giving subsides to Indian app bussienss.
Good that Google is put in its place.
Surgical strike of Google
I don't think you'll get same
quality security and standard
On any other company's apps
store 🎉
Can even surpass if we try as almost 30-35% of google workers are indians or of indian origin all over the world. But for that, we, developers, need government and private player support just as UPI.
But something has to be done about the monopoly...30% is too much..be it in India or in US, be it Google or Apple....no "marketplace" should be allowed to charge more than 5% for the security, quality and standards that they provide
Sad, but true.
what about Apple . not talk ?
Reason why China is Chad in Apps , AI , Tech , EV etc but India has nothing on its own !
the US govt is supporting these monopolies, despite their own anti-trust laws (Google,., Msft, Amazon)
As i was about to type my views, here comes go daddy ad…. Oops my website i did on this what if something similar like google happens here too 😵💫
Ban playstore pree installation . Make competition and bring a free market for apps.
Ban play store
We need oir own google , WhatsApp,. CZcams, insta , like china. Gobt should do something so thay tech nerd don't go to US and work foe india.
Why not partnering with Android and create a new Indian app store...and kick the Google for good...only government of India can do this by one swing....just like banning the Chinese app...
Android is a service of Google 😂
Good luck with your dedollarization 😂😂
phone pe comes into action
😂😂😂
India has the most proactive government I've seen
I think she should get her numbers right lol. and its quite amusing so much misinformation is being shared here lol. but who Am I to complain
China is far ahead in all these things than India and Europe.

Your doing too much over time 😅
DAY BY DAY RESPECT FOR CHINA 📈
if UPI can kill Visa and MasterCard business in India... some other venture can address the AWS/GCP/MS and other dependencies...
Hope we will see these soon
With all its IT expertise, why on earth doesnt India create rivals to Google, Apple, facebook, CZcams etc etc. Do it and get rich. India!
Boycott google ......and create indian platform for india
