Oh boi, this article is so horrible to read. So many grammar mistakes, it's hard to unsee them.
Is this an autotranslated article? What is a lakh or crore as a unit?

The time it took you to ask what a lakh or crore is in this comment was probably longer than googling what these units used by a billion people are.

Lakh = 100k, crore = 10m. Extremely common in Indian English.

Conversely, Indian English is not extremely common outside of India
