Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com, accused Google of engaging in arbitrary and monopolistic actions that are negatively impacting Indian startups and the country's economy. Mittal's allegation came in response to concerns raised by Aditi Shrivastava, another prominent figure in the Indian startup ecosystem, about the lack of a clear escalation process for apps blocked on the Google Play Store without explanation. Earlier this year, Mittal compared Google to the "Digital East India Company" after the tech giant delisted several Indian mobile apps, including Shaadi.com, over a payment dispute.
