Google’s move will cause ‘irreparable harm to the market’: Indian startups’ plea to CCI on app delisting row
Indian startups have now approached the country’s top antitrust watchdog in order to force Google to reinstate the apps it delisted for policy reasons on Friday. Google had removed around 200 Indian apps including Naukri, 99acres, Bharat Matrimony and Kuku FM and the tech giant later reinstated only around 15 of these applications.
According to a Reuters report citing the letter written by Alliance of Digital India Foundation (ADIF), Indian startups are claiming that Google’s “brazen” move to delist these apps from the Google Play Store was anti-competitive and CCI should ask the Mountain View – California based company to reverse its decision. The report states that ADIF in its March 1 letter to the CCI had said that Google’s move will “irreparable harm to the entire market”.
