Union Minister of Electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw has met with representatives of Google and Startups. As per the Minister, Google has agreed to list all the applications & restore their status as it was on Friday.

"Google and start-up company, both have met with us. We have had very constructive discussions and finally, Google has agreed to list all the Apps as on the status which was there on Friday morning (1st March), that status will be restored. Google has been supporting our technology development journey and we believe that in the coming months, both start-up company and Google will come to a long-term resolution", said Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Google vs Startup Companies

On Friday last week, Google pulled more than a dozen apps from its Play Store due to non-compliance by over 10 companies to its billing rules. Startups that have developed these apps have been engaged in a tussle with Google over the past three years.

Earlier, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said that Google's actions can not be permitted. The Internet and Mobile Association of India has also expressed concerns over Google's action and said it considers such harsh measures as unfair and disproportionate, at a time when a legal process is ongoing.

“The association is also of the view that such measures are discriminatory in reference to the practice followed by Google in other jurisdictions, where it has offered preferential terms to app developers in deference to ongoing legal proceedings or legislative developments,” it said.

Naukri, 99acres, and Shaadi.com were among the few apps back on the Google Play Store on Saturday. As per reports they complied with the tech giant’s norms even as the government made it clear that delisting of Indian apps cannot be permitted
