ADIF wants India to do a South Korea against Google

Bengaluru: A grouping of Indian internet entrepreneurs and startups on Tuesday called for “proactive legislative action” against Google by Indian regulators in the backdrop of South Korea fining the American tech giant $177 million for hampering the development of rivals to its Android OS.

The Alliance of Digital India Foundation (ADIF)—a 350-member grouping that was founded by Sairee Chahal of Sheroes, Murugavel Janakiraman of Matrimony.com and Ritesh Malik of Innov8—said that the Korea Fair Trade Commission’s (KFTC) verdict should strengthen and expedite the antitrust probe against Google in India.
