The investment will be directed to Google’s fund called the India Digitization Fund. Over the next five to seven years, these funds will be used to create partnerships with promising Indian developers, to develop IT infrastructure in India, to create new products in collaboration with Indian IT companies, to develop startups and to buy shares in local companies.

Earlier, one of Google’s competitors in the Internet market, Amazon, also announced large investments and more active cooperation with India. In January, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos visited New Delhi, where he announced that his company would invest $ 1 billion in digitalization of local small and medium-sized businesses, and by 2025 would spend a total of $ 10 billion on the purchase of goods and services produced in India.
