10. Supply India Many cutting edge apps on the iPhone AppStore are developed by Indian companies Sometimes branded Mostly white-label By the way, if you are Indian, you cant sell an Android app; at least not yet 

11. Because Indian developers are busy developing apps for US & UK. So why no apps for India?

12. What developers care about? Size of the market $$$ Development Infrastructure Market feedback Time (or headache) to market & payouts

13. Therefore, Developers mostly not interested in developing for Indian market. Consumer gets old generation apps with poor provisioning. And the cycle continues ....

14. Truth be told No one has cracked the Indian pay to download mobile app market.

15. HOW CAN THE ECOSYSTEM IMPROVE?

16. Unlearn the lessons of MVAS Apps are not ringtones or wallpapers! Apps are not a single mass market ‘ Push’ model won’t work ‘ Search’, ‘Discoverability’ and ‘Provisioning’ matter Understand the ‘Long Tail’ of mobile apps

17. Attract the best developers Create the paid market first. Make Rev share attractive. ( hint: 20% cut after 3 months does not work ) Create the feedback loop. Create and Promote the developer brand.

18. Apply Indian Consumer trends The Indian consumer is value conscious is not an impulsive buyer bases buying decisions on trust (through word of mouth, internet search and social media) changes handsets & SIM cards

19. Why Mobikwik App Store ? Only Paid Apps Bring global quality to Indian consumers Pull not Push (hint : Google) INR Micro-payments enabled Kickass Web UI Sticky User Base Unleash the power of lone developer * * 10000 downloads/month for 1 app of INR 100 ~ 7 lacs
