- shroffrohit 8y agoThank you for the explanation :) I had written this piece keeping Indian audience in mind. Glad it has reached here. I have now updated the article and added figures in USD and international number system :)
- aliswe 8y agoNo problem. Cool you're in here replying BTW. Didn't realise you wrote the article. Good job and very nice to hear these kinds of success stories! I'm still getting used to counting in Lakh, in Dubai people sometimes say 5 lakh this, 6 lakh that. Even to me as a swede. Then you guys have krore, I dunno what else. In arabic they also have some old units being used in some countries, like faddaan, and I forget another one I just heard... Edit: Also, you guys use different decimal points for Lakh I think. like 30 lakh is 30,00,000 I think. Saw it on some bank website.
