A journal has accepted my paper which has multiple indexing including google scholar and is open access. But it ain't scopus indexed. Does that make the journal less desirable or credible?
Dear Akshita Goel
This depends on the requirements of your institution and country. For example, in my affiliation, the papers that have the greatest "value" are those indexed in JCR, Scopus or CONACyT.
You could consult with some researchers in your institution and see if there is a national system of researchers in your country with key indicators. In my country (Mexico) there is the SNI (https://conacyt.mx/sistema-nacional-de-investigadores/).

No. It doesn't, those credentials and indexations usually take a lot of time and money. You should keep publishing because it's good practice, and top journals are quite difficult.
Any predatory journal can accept any paper even crap. They even accept if you are not wanting them to. Have you had a peer-review?
If journal is not indexed and if you are not willing to reveal the name, it is you to decide. This discussion would not mean anything.
@Abhijeet Singh sir, yeah it's undergone a blind peer review, it's google scholar indexed, just nit not scopus
Google scholar is (just) a search engine dedicated to scholarly/academic article, however, it is not an indexing criteria/authority. It can index any journal type regardless if the articles are peer-reviewed or quality of article or journal as a whole.
