2. How Many Zeros in Billion
A Simple Question, but it is not.
In India we follow Hindi Numbering system
Several CXO’s struggle
Monetary Conversion is quite tricky
Complication added due to exchange rate
3. Ten = 10 = दस
Hundred = 100 = सौ
1 Thousand = 1,000 = 1 हज़ार
10 Thousand = 10,000 = 10 हज़ार
100 Thousand = 100,000 = 1 लाख
1 Million = 1,000,000 = 10 लाख
10 Million = 10,000,000 = 1 Crore
100 Million = 100,000,000 = 10 Crore
1 Billion = 1,000,000,000 = 100 Crore

7. Simple Answer:
Depends on Exchange rate!
If you know the Exchange Rate you can
quickly calculate it.
Here is the trick!
8. First, find out the Rupee to US$ exchange rate.
Second Divide the value of US$ in Indian rupees by 10.
For Example
If 1US$ = Rs 70, then after diving it by 10 it becomes 7.
If 1US$ = Rs 65, then after diving it by 10 it becomes 6.5.
If 1US$ = Rs 69, then after diving it by 10 it becomes 6.9.
9. Now just add “Thousand Crore” to the number you have got:
For example, when the number above is 7, it becomes Rs 7
Thousand crores.
Means US$ 1 Billion is 7000 crore.
For example, when the number above is 6.5, it becomes Rs 6500
crores.
Means US$ 1 Billion is 6500 crore.
For example, when the number above is 6.9, it becomes Rs 6900
crores.
Means US$ 1 Billion is 6900 crore.
