Google's official blog for India, announcing products, policies, and programs aimed at Indian users, such as Tez payments and Datally.
HN links it for official Google India announcements. One commenter finds the *.googleblog.com sites more meaningful than the blog.google domain.
It is already on TechCrunch[0], the Google Blog[1], and the Google India Blog[2]. If that doesn't count for an official launch I don't know what does.

For data usage, Google India announced[0] an app called Datally[1] to help users track and understand their data usage per app. It also has a datasaver mode of some kind to help keep usage under control.

does anyone know the split of these kind of posts on the different blog domains of Google ?
I find more meaninfgul postings on the *.googleblog.com sites (e.g. https://research.googleblog.com or https://india.googleblog.com/) versus the blog.google sites.
