New Delhi. After Google’s recent action of delisting some apps, Anupam Mittal, founder and CEO of People Group and Shaadi.com, has strongly criticized the tech giant firm. He called it a ‘black day’ for the internet landscape in India. Mittal has written his views on social media platform X (earlier Twitter). He has written in his post that this ‘Lagaan’ should be stopped.
Anupam Mittal has written, ‘Today is a dark day for India’s internet. Google has removed major apps from its app store, even as legal hearings are ongoing at @CCI_India and @indSupremeCourt. His false narratives and audacity show that he has little respect for India. Make no mistake – this is the new Digital East India Company and this levy must be stopped.

Mittal has further said that the government now needs to intervene and CCI (Competition Commission of India) should ensure that Google is complying with their order and all the removed apps should be immediately reinstated.

Google has actually removed 23 apps from Indian developers for not complying with its payment policy. This has affected businesses dependent on Android. Removal of apps from Google Play Store means that Android users, who constitute around 95 percent of the Indian market, will not be able to search and download these apps. Many of the apps that have been removed do not even have iOS versions.
These apps have been removed
The removed apps include Bharat Matrimony, Telugu Matrimony, Tamil Matrimony, Marathi Matrimony as well as Matrimony.com’s Jodii and People Group’s Shaadi.com as well as dating apps Truly Madly and QuackQuack. Vernacular video-streaming platform Stage, Balaji Telefilms’ Altt and audio streaming and podcast app Kuku FM have also been removed from the Play Store.
