Adobe Systems recently announced that it will be entering the Indian mobile apps market. After seeing the huge potential and the ever growing market share of the Indian subcontinent’s mobile users, the famous software developer has decided to shift its attention to India. Adobe also has inked deals with Standard Chartered Bank, redBus and Perfios so that it can provide high end interactive mobile apps to the Indian mobile users. Adobe systems, which have their Indian headquarters in Bangalore, declared that they will be operating closely with the creative and developer ecosystem in India to facilitate speedy development of rich digital experiences for multiple devices, screens and OSs for the Indian market.

Adobe will soon develop India centric apps

India is a fast developing nation with about 850 million plus mobile users. Many of these users are slowly shifting to the new generation of smartphones with loads of cool apps. Adobe has recognized that this is the best time to enter the fray to usher in a new era of digital experience. Adobe, which is a market leader in providing efficient and diverse tools such as Adobe Flash and Flex has a reputation of creating innovative web technologies.

In a recently concluded annual Adobe Flash Platform Summit 2011, the company gave a glimpse of the work it’s planning to accomplish with the help of its partners, the main objective being to create interactive mobile apps as well as rich Internet experiences. For example, Adobe is working with redBus to develop a mobile app that can be used to book bus tickets for numerous routes across India. The app provides the user with a highly interactive GUI and an intuitive interface that helps you to book tickets on the go, compare fares, check routes, assign seats, etc.

Adobe has diversified to the financial sector also and will be providing solutions to Standard Chartered Bank. Standard Chartered recently launched its global mobile banking application called ‘Breeze’ in India. Standard Chartered used Adobe tools like Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5 to create a fully transactional banking app with an interactive, engaging customer experience for a large number of tablets and smartphone devices. Adobe will be working in association with Perfios, financial software developer. Perfios partnered the Technology Evangelist team at Adobe India to craft a multi-platform mobile app using Flex Mobile. Together, they will be developing a tool or a mobile app that will allow the user to keep a record of the personal finances and manage them efficiently.
