IAMAI Launches Mobile10X Initiative To Boost App Developer Ecosystem In India

The platform is also said to work at increasing the Mobile app segment revenue from Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 10,000 crore.

 

The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has recently launched an initiative known as Mobile10X jointly with Google India and Paytm to boost the development of apps in India.

The 'Mobile10X' is a forum that is aimed at nurturing and growing the ecosystem of app developers in India and also to increase the Mobile app segment revenue to Rs 10,0000 crore from the current Rs 1,000 crore.

Speaking more the Mobile10X, it is made up of five pillars - Mobile Startup hubs, training 5,00,000 app developers, creative five apps incubation centres through out the country and online mentoring of app developers along with investor connect and industry connect.

However, while everything is been said about the new initiative, it is worth noting that the Mobile10X is not a funding or incubation platform. Instead, it provides mentorship to app developers.

According to The Economic Times, the programme will be playing an active role in setting up five mobile startup hubs over the next five years and also provide training to five lakh engineering students on mobile OS platforms like Android and iOS.

Speaking about the mobile hubs, it is being said that the first mobile hub has been already setup in Bengaluru while the second one is on its way to be set up in Gurgaon by January 2016.

These mobile hubs will be having testing labs, design labs, capability building and co-working space which the app developers can utilize for free.
