Commenting on the launch of Atmanirbhar Apps, Shivank Agarwal, Co-Founder & CEO Mitron said, “It gives me immense pride and pleasure to bring Atmanirbhar Apps to the Indian users on the National Unity Day. After PM Modi’s clarion call in May this year to be Atmanirbhar, and to focus on the creation of a Made in India ecosystem, we felt that it’s highly important to let users discover noteworthy Indian apps that are doing exceptional work to keep India running. This is a small effort by Mitron TV to celebrate self-reliance and promote domestic businesses.”
Anish Khandelwal, Co-Founder, and CTO, Mitron said, “I am ecstatic to bring another offering from the Mitron TV. When we launched the Mitron TV app, we never imagined that users will shower us with so much affection that we will cross 39 million downloads within six months. This validated our belief that Indians have a trust factor towards local apps, which led us to launch Atmanirbhar Apps. We invite Indians to head to our discovery platform where they will find the best of desi apps to suit their every need.’’
With the launch of the app, Mitron TV also unveils #AtmanirbharPledge campaign to support the visible momentum for #VocalForLocal. The campaign appeals Indian users to choose domestic substitutes in the app world, and channelize their support for an Atmanirbhar Bharat.
