Google launched a program to train 2 million developers in India for its Android platform as its fires up a race with Apple Inc. for the country’s developers to create innovative mobile apps. Google plans to make the curriculum accessible to millions for free to help make India a global leader in mobile development. While Google’s program could be the largest of its kind by sheer numbers, Apple too has been engaging with Indian developers. “By fighting for these developers, Apple and Google are showing how serious they are about the Indian market,” Ankit Jain, assistant vice president product at website and app market analytics provider SimilarWeb, wrote in an e-mail. The Android Skilling program will be introduced for free across hundreds of public and private universities and training schools through a specially designed, in-person program this year.
