About This Site

IndieAppWatch is an independent, personal blog. No sponsored posts, no affiliate links in editorial content, no SEO games. Just observations from someone who's been building in India's tech ecosystem since 2017.

All opinions are my own. I write because these topics are interesting, not because someone's paying me to cover them.
