As India undergoes a massive digital transformation, businesses across industries are using mobile apps and devices for work. Both skilled and unskilled workers in India have a mobile-first mindset and require very little training to learn Android tablets or apps, which has led to an influx of touchscreen mobile devices for work nationwide.
Android is cost-effective, flexible, and user friendly, so there’s little question why it’s the platform-of-choice for India’s mobile revolution. But, organisations have discovered that Android management and deployment has challenges. What we need is Android DevOps.

We connected with Shiv Sundar, Co-Founder and COO of Esper, a company which is progressing leaps and bounds in the Android DevOps space. Co-founded by Mr Shiv Sundar (COO) and Yadhu Gopalan (CEO), Esper is a cloud platform which automates application deployment and management for the complete Android device and application lifecycle. Esper’s platform supports its users to react in real-time to device state changes like the health and performance of applications, configurations, OS, firmware, and more. The startup is active in the sectors of education, healthcare, retail, logistics, and temperature control etc.
According to the co-founder, the company has witnessed a lot of rapid growth in self-serve kiosks, payment kiosks, and contactless payments. Many organisations in retail, hospitality and the restaurant vertical are quickly upgrading their mobile technologies for customer self-service food ordering or self-check payments. Esper can help companies deploy kiosks quickly or upgrade their existing kiosk technologies to accommodate new capabilities like payments. The demand has helped Esper almost doubled its operations base in India in the last six months.
