Google has been fostering a vibrant tech ecosystem in India for over two decades and our commitment is steadfast. We deeply believe in India’s potential as a global innovation hub, and with our ongoing investments, we’re honored to have played a role in India’s thriving digital economy. For example, Android and Google Play have helped India transform into an app-first digital economy providing millions of mobile users unprecedented choice and boosting India’s innovative startup and developer sectors.

Google Play invests significantly in supporting Indian developers, big and small, across every stage of an app’s journey, providing critical tools and services that help them unlock their innovation, acquire and engage users, and expand to users worldwide.

Today, Indian developers are finding global success with Google Play, and the Android and Play ecosystem collectively supported over 2.5 million jobs in India in 2022¹. This success is a result of the investments we have made in our platforms, tools, and resources that have enabled developers to thrive. This also helps us invest in protections to safeguard users across the ecosystem, even for apps downloaded from outside of the Play Store – enabling a level of openness, developer choice, and vigilance unmatched by other platforms.
