The Indian government is pushing back against Google's recent removal of several Indian apps from its Play Store. Electronics and Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has emphasized the start-up ecosystem's significance for India's economy and insisted big tech companies shouldn't determine their fate. On Friday, Google started removing apps, including popular matrimony apps, from its Play Store in India due to a dispute over service fee payments. A meeting between Google and affected app developers is scheduled for next week.
