NEW DELHI: Google, the world's largest player in the Internet 'search' space, said on Tuesday its ad revenues from India have not been impacted even by the current slowdown.

“It's an environment which reminds you that you have to be vigilant about being as productive as possible and we are doing that ... “It (India) has been a growth market for us. We are very excited to see growth consistently and we have expectations for the future as well,”' Google India Managing Director Mr Shailesh Rao said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.
