Info Edge said its mobile applications namely, Naukri recruiter and Shiksha have been reinstated on the Google Play Store, following news last week that several mobile apps had been removed from the store.

Last week, Info Edge founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani said last week there are no pending invoices with Google following reports that Google may remove the apps of 10 companies in India. Google began removing the apps of 10 companies in India on Friday in a dispute over service fee payments.

Info Edge said on Friday, “We would like to inform you that the company's mobile applications (viz. Naukri.com Job Search App, Naukri Recruiter, Naukrigulf Job Search App, 99acres Buy/Sell/Rent Property and Shiksha), have been removed/delisted from Google Play Store today by Google, along with several mobile applications of other companies/entities as well.”

The Indian staffing firm said the action came as a surprise to the company as it was taken without due and sufficient notice by Google.

In a filing on the Bombay Stock Exchange yesterday following the reinstatement of the apps on the Google Play Store, Info Edge stated, “The company will continue to work with Google to prevent such delisting/removal of the company’s mobile applications, from the Google Play Store, in the future.”
