Big corporate oligarchies have enormous power on election outcomes everywhere. BJP-RSS has found an innovative way around - do everything that big corporates want them to. Hence you would not see them usually taking sides in India. They are happy with Modi, mostly.
Another reason for big corporates’ settling with Modi is that India has a very large rural and working class. There big corporates direct messaging, read big tech’s curation of newsfeed, search results, etc unlikely to have strong impact easily.
Anyway, Modi is not upsetting any one’s Apple cart. All he is asking for is some mega gatherings worldwide. He is promoting the “cool” social messaging, not changing age old laws that discriminate against some segments, or not implementing the changes.
Why should big corporates including big tech go out of their way and in a much more challenging terrain to influence elections against BJP-RSS? Peaceful coexistence, for now.
