Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated at a Google for India event that India is on the verge of becoming a large export economy, and that it is crucial for the country to strike a balance between protecting its population and allowing businesses to develop within its framework. Pichai also announced that Google has allocated $300 million for Indian startups, with a quarter of that amount going to organizations with female leaders. He emphasized the need for fair and reasonable regulations in the technology industry, given the scale and technological leadership that India will have, and the importance of finding the appropriate balance to allow businesses to innovate while ensuring legal certainty for consumers. Pichai also noted that the Indian startup ecosystem is becoming increasingly complex and that businesses from India are gaining global attention.
