The number of smart phone users in India have been growing exponentially over the last few years. The Financial Times estimated the growth of smart phone sales in India to be over 160% against 86% in China and 19% in the US; however, it is also true that the Indian growth is calculated from a comparatively lower base of around 3%.

Nonetheless, such growth is impressive. According to a Google research, reported in the Economic Times, the number of Indians using smart phones to access internet is more than the number of Americans who use smart phones for the same purpose.

Rediff.com, quoting GetJar, a top app store, stated that, globally, the download of apps across industries and categories was over 7 billion in 2009 and it was estimated that by 2012 the figure would cross 50 billion.

Around the same time, the global market for apps is expected to be worth over USD 17 billion. As India replaces Japan to become the third largest market for smart phones, the use of apps would also keep pace with the growth in the number of smart phone users. In the circumstances, it appears that PriceDekho has launched its android app at just the right time.

Anurag Jain, CEO, PriceDekho said, "We are excited to be launching PriceDekho App in time for the shopping season. We are committed to making sure our users get the very best prices on their purchases and to helping Online sellers build a lucrative mobile sales channel. PriceDekho accomplishes this by allowing users to quickly compare prices and make purchases either at the online store on the go."
