    Indian startups rejoice as Android ruling against Google upheld

    Startups in India cheered a decision by the Supreme Court on Thursday to uphold an antitrust order that forces Google to change how it runs its popular Android platform, saying the ruling would open the market for rivals and boost competition.
    It also told Google to allow third-party app stores to be housed within its Play Store.
    In a major setback for the Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) unit, the Supreme Court of India on Thursday declined Google's request to block the antitrust directives, which the company says would hurt consumers and stall growth of the Android ecosystem in India.
    Google now needs to comply within seven days.
    Latest Updates The CCI order states Google can't impose such requirements now.
    There was negative impact over the years, we hope now consumers and device makers use our app more."
