Shaadi.com and Info Edge’s apps, which include Naukri, Naukri Recruiter, Naukrigulf, 99acres, and Shiksha, are back on Google’s app marketplace. On March 1, Google Play began delisting the key apps from its Android app store because they violated its user choice charging scheme. This move sparked unhappiness among Indian startup creators, as ten famous apps were banned for noncompliance with Google Play’s billing standards.
Google reinstated several prominent apps from its Play Store on Saturday (March 2), including the Shaadi.com and five of Info Edge’s businesses, such as Naukri, Naukri Recruiter, Naukrigulf Job Search App, 99acres, and Shiksha, just hours after removing them for noncompliance with billing policies.
Sanjeev Bikhchandani, Info Edge’s cofounder, announced the development of the microblogging platform X.
According to Inc 42 “Hitesh and the entire Info Edge team spearheaded the efforts to successfully manage the issue, working diligently through the night. The Naukri India Jobseeker, 99acres, and Naukrigulf applications have all been reinstated to the Play Store.”
Earlier, Bikhchandani said they were alerted to Google’s move just hours before the move. At the same time, in the exchange filing, he said that “this action is surprising to the company, as it was taken without proper and appropriate notice,” Inc. remember. According to Article 42 of the Act
Google on Friday (March 1) removed five Info Edge apps from the Play Store, including the flagship job app, job recruiter, job gulf job search app, 99acres and education but the company’s matrimonial service Jeevan Sathi remains on the app store.
Google Play began deleting major app listings from its Android App Store on March 1 for violating its credentials charging system.
This angered the Indian manufacturer, as ten well-known apps were banned for not complying with Google Play’s billing regulations. Shaadi.com, OTT platform STAGE, social media app FRND, ALTT, Kuku FM, QuackQuack, Nauri, and 99acres, as well as other Matrimony.com apps, were also not listed among them.
Google didn’t issue a statement responding to the startups fee, instead focusing on the blog post.
Inc42 spoke to developers who said Google pulled their apps after the Supreme Court verdict on February 9, giving no relief to Indian app developers.
