Sameer Nigam, Co-Founder & CEO of PhonePe, discusses the launch of the Indus Appstore as a competitor to Google Play store..

Sameer Nigam, Co-Founder & CEO, PhonePe, says will charge nominal annual developer fee, probably somewhere between $20 and $30 a year..

For in-app payments in particular, we have already said this publicly, the Indus Appstore will allow app developers in India to use any payment gateway that they want.".

We launched the developer platform about four months ago and there are lots of new developers tool kits, a lot more transparency around the tracking, a lot of issues that developers had around how they get listed, the attribution of their marketing investments etc..

Sameer Nigam: We will charge nominal developer fee, annual developer fee, probably somewhere between $20 to $30 a year, that is on the listing side because there is a certain amount of work, you have to check for antiviruses, all the new updates and stuff, but that is nominal, that is not really even the main concern from developers...
