Mitron is known for being the maker of their short-video app platform. Mitron became very popular after TikTok was banned in India. Now, they have launched Atmanirbhar Apps on the Google Play Store. This will definitely give them significant leverage over their competitors. Moreover, the primary aim of Atmanirbhar Apps is to serve as a portal for Indian developers to list their apps. In other words, it indirectly promotes the Made in India initiative, big time. This is a great way to aid in the campaign.
Atmanirbhar Apps was released on October 29 on the Play Store. The Atmanirbhar app has already bagged 10,000+ installs. The app lists apps across different categories. The Atmanirbhar apps have recommendations from across various categories. These include social, entertainment, local, utility, games, shopping, health, news, e-learning and business. According to Mitron, the Atmanirbhar app portal currently lists over a 100 apps. Moreover, the Indian developer aims to increase the list to upto 500 apps by the end of 2020.
