Product development is a broad field of endeavor dealing with the design, creation, and marketing of new products. Sometimes referred to as new product development (NPD), the discipline is focused on developing systematic methods for guiding all the processes involved in getting a new product to market. The marketing representative analyses customer needs and desires. The marketing representative suggests possible product ideas that customers want and are willing to pay for. They conduct market research to determine how much customers would pay for the product and how many units customers would purchase. India is a big IT hub for several globally recognized companies. Reasons for this are that software development and service in India was highly cost effective. Before the introduction of Android, the market of mobile app development industry as dominated by Symbian and iOS. Then android has come with the option for dynamic application development at lower cost which rapidly increased the popularity of Android in India. People willing to use smart-phone have a new option as Android which is cheaper than other smart-phones. In Education sector to elevate its service to the students these mobile apps will be more helpful.
