For INR I would have expected the Indian numbering system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system

I know but given the audience this system seemed more apt.

What do you mean? I find the numbers readable, what format would you prefer?

Why did you omit a zero from the larger numbers? That seems to make it less readable to me (or at least confusing).

Which number is missing a zero?

9500000 is 9,500,000

Sorry, it was a display issue when viewing on mobile with horizontal scrolling. Everything looks fine on desktop and is readable.
