The app store also offers a brand new <b>short-video based discovery<\/b> feature, to make new app discovery more engaging for consumers.<\/p>\n<p>In a global first move, Indus&nbsp;Appstore allows app and game developers to choose any 3rd-party payment gateway for in-app billing, and they will not be charged any commission if they use an external payment gateway. At a later date, Indus will also provide its own in-app billing and catalog solutions, but these will remain strictly optional for app developers. Further, to accelerate developer registrations, Indus is offering<b> zero listing fees to developers<\/b> for one year.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of Indus Appstore&#8217;s launch gains more relevance given the recent clamor from the Indian startup ecosystem for more <b>free market competition <\/b>in the mobile app store space.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Sameer Nigam<\/span>, CEO and Founder PhonePe added<\/b>,&nbsp;&quot;<i>Indus Appstore challenges the status quo, ushering in an era of more healthy competition in the mobile app marketplace, which in turn should help create a more democratic and vibrant Indian digital ecosystem. <\/i><i>Indus Appstore embodies our commitment to building a truly inclusive digital ecosystem where every Indian user feels at home.&quot;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Indus Appstore is available for download at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indusappstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indusappstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.indusappstore.com<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Indus Appstore:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Indus Appstore is a native Android-based mobile app store, designed to fulfill the localized and cultural needs of Indian consumers.
