Yes, and counting happens on a separate day, which could be up to a month after the voting.
Also the public does not vote for the President. People vote for their MP and (some combination of, depending on state) an MLA, an MLC and/or ward / block / district councillors. The elected representatives elect the President.
To be precise, last election was held in 7 different cycles. Though counting almost always starts and ends on the same day. Which, If I’m not wrong, was also the case with USA barring one or two states. India does have 4x more votes to count but it also has 4x the manpower, so🤷♂️.
Edit: also yeah India doesn’t vote for president, that’s true, but what do I even expect from mr Islamic republic of Japan?
