According to Google, new and existing customers based in India will now pay INR 150 per user per month if they're on the flexible plan, and INR 1500 per user per year on the annual plan - a 45 percent reduction on the previous price.

The power of the web to help small businesses goes beyond having a website or using advertising solutions, it also gives them access to secure and flexible cloud based communication and collaboration tools like Google Apps for Business, said Google in a press release.

Ricky Kapur, director of enterprise sales, Asia said: "India is home to around 47 million small businesses, yet only 1 percent of these businesses are online. We hope that by making Google Apps more affordable, more small businesses in India will be able to move to the cloud and access a business-ready package of communication and collaboration tools."

Many businesses in India are already experiencing the benefits of working in the cloud with Google Apps, added the press release.

Programs like India Get Your Business Online, Women Entrepreneurs on the Web or our Google Business Groups are just some of the other Google initiatives in India designed to help small businesses come online and use the web to succeed and grow.
