"Google's Payment Policy Clash: Indian Apps Removed from Play Store"

TL;DR Summary
Google has begun removing the apps of 10 Indian companies, including popular matrimony and job search apps, due to a dispute over service fee payments. Indian startups have long protested against Google's in-app fee charges, and the recent removals come after court decisions in favor of Google's right to charge the fees. The dispute highlights the dominance of Google in the Indian market, where 94% of phones are based on its Android platform, and only 3% of Indian developers using the Google Play platform are required to pay service fees.
