As we talk about the rise of India in software, I wanted to see what my own usage reflects. I listed all the apps I use, and classified them by the country they’re built in: Despite all the hype about Indian startups, I use almost no Indian apps. Indian apps compete on price, not quality. For example, Zoho is cheaper than Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, and is excellent for the price, but not excellent. If you can afford Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, you should use them, as I do.
