A unit of numbering in South Asian languages equal to ten million (10,000,000); used in India and other countries.
From Sanskrit 'koti' and Hindi 'karor,' the word represents the South Asian numerical system that differs from Western millions and billions.
A crore is 10 million, and when you hear about Indian movie box office collections, they're often in crores—it's a reminder that different cultures count and name large numbers differently, which affects how we perceive scale.
