Reply to comment by Jaded_Prompt_15 in India orders Google to allow third-party payments, slaps on another fine by nimajjibewarsi

Yeah like Google would pull out from one of their biggest markets..

Edit: Lmao he blocked me. It's one of their biggest market counting people that can afford a phone, duh. India is massive and makes up for people that can't afford a phone with the sheer number of people that can.

It doesn't matter how many people are there if most either can't afford a phone or only afford the cheapest model...

Which is why Google's revenue from India is a drop in the bucket compared to global.

Sure, ~700 million in revenue sounds like a lot.

But just US is 209 billion in revenue

And do that now with data.

I wanna bet that data generated by the Indian population is far more valuable...
