Google has announced a phased investment of 1 trillion in India over the next 5-7 years. Google is working to ensure that every citizen of India has access to affordable internet and information in their own language. Google has expressed interest in working to improve technology in India in terms of technology, education, health and agriculture and vice versa. Google has made a number of proposals to the Indian government, including providing loans for modernization of small and medium enterprises, training in digital literacy, and providing digital assistance to the rural economy. Google chief executive Sundar Pichai is said to have sent a full proposal to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Indian government says it has also talked to Google several times about data security and customer security.
However, according to experts, the initiative is to popularize Google's services in India, a country of 17% of the world's population or 138 million people. Note that Facebook has recently invested in mobile telecom operator Geo in India. Companies like Samsung, Foxconn and Apple are also investing heavily in India. And so Google has announced an investment of 1 trillion dollars to establish a large population of Indians as customers of Google without lagging behind others in business.
