Building Progressive Web Apps for the Indian Market
Patchy networks, budget devices and users who won't install another app — why PWAs are winning on the Indian mobile web.

Half of India browses on sub-4GB RAM phones over spotty 4G. A native app is a big ask. Progressive Web Apps meet users where they are.
What you get with a PWA
- Installable to home screen, no Play Store friction
- Offline-first with service workers
- Push notifications on Android
- Single codebase — 40-60% cheaper than native
Where PWAs still fall short
iOS push is limited and background location is off the table. For fintech or logistics that need those, native remains the answer.
