I guess my question is if US tech companies don't comply with the Indian government and gets shut down, wouldn't an identical company who will comply with the Indian government just take its place?

The censorship is taking place either way right? Why not take the money?

Yes, and this is exactly why companies decide to stay in business in said regions and focus on what they do best - continue to offer products and services (or "maximize shareholder value" if you're cynical).
