For most Indians, Google is not just a tech platform, it’s a part of life. Whether it’s searching for answers, streaming videos on YouTube, finding directions on Maps, or storing precious memories on Photos, Google’s presence is ubiquitous. India stands out as one of Google’s largest user bases, with a staggering 476 million YouTube users, the highest in the world and Gmail leading in monthly active users. As of February 2024, Google also commands an unrivaled 99% share of India’s mobile search market.
India contributes significantly to Google’s global traffic, ranking second after the United States with 4.52% of visits to Google.com. YouTube, Google’s powerhouse video platform, had 462 million users in India as of early 2024, further showcasing the company’s deep-rooted presence in the country.
Financially, Google India continues to thrive. In FY24, its net profit rose by 6.1% to ₹1,424.9 crore, and gross advertising revenue surged by 12.49% to ₹28,000 crore. Its IT services revenue grew by 16% to ₹2,389 crore, while enterprise product revenue jumped 57% to ₹174 crore. This diverse revenue stream underscores Google’s dominance in advertising, IT services, and enterprise solutions. It is also among the world’s top companies working on quantum computing.
Digital payments form another stronghold for Google. With 67 million users, Google Pay is India’s largest market, handling 6.2 billion UPI transactions worth ₹8,49,327 crore in October 2024. Such numbers highlight Google’s integral role in India’s burgeoning digital economy.
From its humble beginnings in 2004 with just five employees, Google India has grown into one of Alphabet’s largest workforces outside the US. Adding to this is the leadership of Sundar Pichai, the India-educated CEO, who heads Alphabet, a tech titan valued at over $2 trillion. Google’s commitment to India is evident in its $10 billion India Digitisation Fund and the development of AI models supporting over 100 Indian languages.
Globally, Google’s dominance is unshakable. It controls 81.95% of desktop and 95.37% of mobile search traffic. Android powers over 70% of smartphones worldwide, and tools like Google Docs, Drive, and Meet serve over 3 billion users, including 10 million paying customers. Revenue streams extend beyond advertising to include Google Cloud, Google Pay, Google Play, and hardware products like Chromecast.
Innovation keeps Google ahead of the curve. Nearly 70% of enterprises use AI features like "Help me write" in Gmail and Docs, while over 75% leverage AI-powered image tools in Slides. Google Cloud, one of the world’s top cloud providers, generated over $33 billion in revenue in 2023, contributing 10% of Alphabet’s total revenues.

Indian investors can buy Google shares in fractions or a part of the whole stock value instead of the entire stock. In simple terms, you can even buy 0.1 or any fraction of Google stock units.
Let us understand this better with an example, if you have $10 or ₹857.49 to invest and the cost of Google stock is $200 or ₹17,106, you can still invest your $10 or ₹857.49 and get 10/200 that is 0.05 units of the Google stock in your account.
Another way to understand this is, if 1 Google stock costs $191.24 or ₹16,356.76, you can buy Google stock worth $250 or ₹21,382.50 which will give you 250/191.24 units which means you will get 1.31 Google shares.
An investor investing in US stocks from India not only benefits from stock or capital returns but also gets the benefit of dollar appreciation versus rupees.
If an Indian resident would have invested in Google from India, 5 years ago then the total returns (including dollar appreciation) from Google stock would be 240%. The annualised return would be 28%.
To understand this in simple terms, capital appreciation in the last 5 years from Google stocks would be 185.52%.
On top of this, the investors will enjoy the gains from appreciation in dollar value versus rupees which would be 19.26%. The calculation is for the last 5 years.
Hence, investing in US stocks from the US will only give an investor capital gains, but an Indian investor will enjoy additional gains from dollar appreciation.
Google stock has given 240% returns in the last 5 years, whereas Apple stock has given 313%. $100 invested in Google stock 5 years ago would have become $340 and $100 invested in Apple stock would have become $413.
5 year returns of Google → 240% (Capital Appreciation 185.52% & Dollar Appreciation 19.26%)
5 year returns of Apple → 313% (Capital Appreciation 246.05% & Dollar Appreciation 19.26%)
Total Returns | $100 investment would have become | |
240% | $340 | |
Apple | 313% | $413 |
