Small and medium businesses (SMBs) in India are really starting to bloom thanks to the internet. There are already over 300 million internet users in the country and another 200 million Indians set to join by 2017. India is actually number three in the world when it comes to tech startups.
Google is very impressed by these numbers and has decided to help even more Indian businesses get online. According to Google, it has already helped 2 million SMBs obtain an Internet presence with the Google My Business initiative. It has also launched a new website to track how this digital revolution is unfolding in India.
Rajan Anandan, VP & Managing Director, Sales & Operations, Google SEA & India said:
We have launched an initiative to build Internet presence for 20 Million SMBs in India – which can be accessed by anyone, anywhere on their mobile phones. Two million SMBs have already found a home on the Internet, through Google My Business.
Not only that, but Google will invest $20,000 of cloud credits for 1000 startups in 2016 – 120 crores in a single year for startups. This is the largest investment Google has ever made for Google Cloud Services.
