Paytm takes on Google with launch of own mini app store  --   Days after Google booted Paytm out of its Play Store for allegedly breaching its gambling policy, the payments platform announced the launch of a ‘Paytm Mini App Store’. In full, front page advertisements in newspapers on October 5, Paytm – India’s biggest unicorn with a $16 billion valuation – called on startups to join its mini store and leverage its reach at zero cost.    The announcement also comes days after a coalition of 50+ Indian startups including Zomato, MakeMyTrip, and RazorPay, came together to protest against Google’s policy of levying a 30 percent fee on in-app purchases.    To be sure, Paytm’s mini store doesn’t replace the Play Store which is installed on more than 95 percent of India’s 500 million smartphones. So how does it work? Developers can list themselves on the mini store by creating a “mini app”—a website with app-like features. Paytm provides them with the tools to do so. Users meanwhile can access these apps within the Paytm app without having to download individual apps from the Play store. Payments for in-app purchases can be made via Paytm’s wallet, UPI or individual bank accounts and developers needn’t pay #Paytm fee on such purchases.    “This enables us to achieve three things,” explains Narenda Singh Yadav, senior vice president, Paytm. One, it requires “very little investment and engineering effort” on part of the developers because they’re listing mini apps on the platform as opposed to full-fledged interfaces. Second, developers can leverage Paytm’s distribution network of 150 million monthly active users to widen their reach. And third, the 30 percent fee on in-app purchases that developers must pay on the Play Store is done away with, making it a more viable option for growing startups. “We’ve already seen huge excitement from developers,” says Yadav. More than 300 developers are presently on the mini store including e-pharmacy 1mg, FreshMenu and music app Hungama. Many more are expected to join after a conference for app developers organised by Paytm gets underway on October 8, says Yadav.  #Repost @forbesindia • • • • • •   #paytm #paytmkaro #indianewsupdates (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9-GAVFkC-/?igshid=1ez7ewwv964o5
