According to the study, 80% of App Store earnings by Indian developers now come from outside India. Downloads of India-made apps have doubled over the last five years, surpassing 755 million globally. Success stories like <strong>Fluid Touch\u2019s Noteshelf<\/strong> and <strong>Raja Vijayaraman\u2019s Lumy<\/strong> underline the international appeal of Indian-built apps, supported by initiatives like Apple\u2019s Developer Center in Bengaluru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Domestic Growth: A Strong Surge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the home front, App Store downloads within India have tripled, while developer earnings have surged fivefold over the past five years. Rapid expansion in sectors such as food delivery, travel, gaming, quick commerce, and the gig economy has been a major contributor to this impressive domestic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple CEO Tim Cook praised the App Store\u2019s impact, calling it an \u201ceconomic miracle\u201d for Indian developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus on Security and Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond enabling economic growth, Apple continues to prioritize security and quality. Between 2020 and 2023, Apple claims to have prevented over $7 billion in fraudulent transactions and rejected more than 1.7 million apps that failed to meet its quality standards. This reflects the company&#8217;s ongoing commitment to maintaining a trusted environment for both users and developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With soaring earnings, rising global demand, and a strong focus on security, Apple\u2019s App Store ecosystem is opening new frontiers for Indian developers like never before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study by IIM Ahmedabad\u2019s Professor Viswanath Pingali revealed that Apple\u2019s App Store ecosystem in India generated \u20b944,447 crore ($5.31 billion) in 2024.
