The so called Indian founders had no issues when they worked with platforms to their advantage but when Google or others ask for their pound of flesh they cry for mercy.

1. Consumers & app developers, rely heavily on Google’s platforms which controls over 95% of the market.
2. PreBundling of AppStores, default apps is of concern
3. Regulatory intervention is required https://t.co/mb2Vk24AiU

Interesting move.

My 2 cents: This will win with
1. A ton of apps on the platform
2. A much better app search discovery experience
3. Massive default distribution on all Android phones
4. A much better manual support experiencehttps://t.co/tWPZ4N1nMV
This would be huge https://t.co/1Rr0GCV8cX
