Indian student shocked after Google Cloud charges Rs 1 lakh for his college project

College projects and assignments often put a dent in students’ wallets. For one Indian student, however, it shockingly generated a bill of almost Rs 1 lakh – an amount that was too exorbitant for the student. The case involves the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), something which the student’s college allegedly forced its students to use for project completion.

The student, identified online as u/ConceptPretty7717 (real name Girish Naik), took to the r/DevelopersIndia subreddit to share his ordeal.
