Google Play’s Best Apps and Games in India for 2025
It’s not yet December, but the list of Google Play’s Best Apps and Games in India for 2025 is here. Unlike other years, AI adoption is on the rise in the country as 69 per cent of Indian users say their first interaction with AI came through an Android app, with apps like invideo AI and Toonsutra leveraging AI for video creation and comics.
Indian developers are focusing on cultural connections and localisation. AI’s impact goes beyond generation: Apps like Goodnotes: Notes, docs, PDF, Best App for Large Screens, and Luminar: Photo Editor, Best Multi-device App, leverage AI to optimise workflows, enhancing deep focus and learning in note-taking, and streamlining image editing in photography, respectively.
The company said Google Play and Android ecosystem has enabled over 3.5 million jobs across India, and supported the Indian economy with over Rs 4 trillion in revenue.
