Android development in India is a mature, steady market. Kotlin has replaced Java as the default language and Jetpack Compose is now standard for new interfaces, so a candidate whose training stopped at XML layouts and Java will struggle in interviews. Hiring comes from consumer apps, fintech, quick-commerce and the mobile teams inside larger product companies. Pune has fewer mobile-first employers than Bengaluru or Gurugram, but consistent openings in product engineering firms and captive centres.
