Appy Pie, the cloud-based no-code app building platform, has clocked more than 5 million downloads for its android app named App Maker by Appy Pie. The download share for India is about 45 per cent of the total number registered, and it assumes significance in the wake of the country’s no-code boom ushering in a new wave of entrepreneurs by simplifying the launch of app-based businesses. While App Maker by Appy Pie had hit the one million download mark in 2019 itself, the maximum surge was witnessed post the outbreak of the pandemic, with the number reaching three millions in 2020 and over five millions at present.
“The outbreak of the pandemic severely impacted the offline business model by disrupting the supply chain and distribution networks, compelling more and more businesses to resort to online channels and app-based business. With the widespread acceptance of no-code, which does not require anyone to acquire coding skills, several businesses have gone for rapid online transition, with apps being the hot favourite. India’s app economy is thus definitely bound to further grow multifold in the new normal,” says Abhinav Girdhar, Founder, Appy Pie.
