About these units
Crore (crore)
Ten million (10⁷), or one hundred lakh. Written 1,00,00,000 in the Indian numbering system.
Sanskrit had separate words for most powers of ten from 100 up to 10 to the 19th. The crore comes from one of them: the Prakrit kroḍi, which derives from the Sanskrit koṭi, and in Hindi and Urdu it is karoṛ. In Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam the cognate is kōṭi. Outside South Asia, koṭi travelled mostly through Buddhist texts, and in Indonesian and Malay keti means 100,000, a lakh, instead of ten million.
A crore is 100 lakh, or 10,000,000, and is written 1,00,00,000 in Indian grouping. It is the natural unit for large sums of money in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, so 150,000,000 rupees is 15 crore rupees. For amounts in the trillions, the system's next named units, arab and kharab, are rarely used, so people say lakh crore for 10 to the 12th. Nepal and Sri Lanka both used the system in the past but have moved to international numbering in recent years.
1 crore = 10,000,000 pieces (exactly).

Gross (gr)
Twelve dozen, 144 items. Still used when buying items such as pencils or buttons in bulk.
A gross is twelve dozen, 144 items, and the name is literally a large dozen: the term dates from the early 15th century and comes from the Old French grosse douzaine. Its plural is gross, as in three gross of screws.
Its structure is purely duodecimal. A gross is 12 dozens, 24 half dozens, or 72 pairs, and the step above it, the great gross, is 12 gross. Related terms include the small gross, which is 120. The larger groupings in this family are mainly used when buying or shipping in bulk, and the Dozenal Society of America promotes wider use of such terms as part of its case for counting in base 12.
1 gross = 144 pieces (exactly).
