With Rs 9,337.7 crore revenue in FY18, Google India has gotten close to 10,000 crore earning mark.
As per Tofler report, the revenue has made a small jump of 29 per cent from the Rs 7,239.5 crore figure in  FY17. The profits for the company has increased by 33 per cent, from Rs 306.6 crore to Rs 407.2 crore in a span of one year ending March 31, 2018.

Google India has around 4000 employees while Facebook has about 400 employees in India.
The reason for the social media firm upward revenue growth trajectory is its user-friendly interface and ability to transcend language barriers more easily because consumers rely more on visual elements.
