谷歌豪掷200万培训印度安卓开发者 与苹果争夺市场主导权
【环球科技综合报道】据美国彭博社报道，谷歌近期推出了一项雄心勃勃的计划——在印度培训200万安卓平台开发者。这一战略举措旨在加强移动应用生态建设，与老对手苹果公司展开正面竞争。
【Global Tech Report】 According to Bloomberg, Google has launched an ambitious program to train 2 million Android developers in India. This strategic move aims to strengthen the mobile app ecosystem and compete head-to-head with its rival Apple.
谷歌公司官方声明显示，这项名为"安卓技能"的培训计划将面向印度数百所公立、私立大学及职业培训学校免费开放。特别值得注意的是，该计划还将通过印度政府下属的国家技能培养公司进行全国性推广。
Google's official statement reveals that the program, named "Android Skills", will be offered free to hundreds of public and private universities as well as vocational training schools across India. Notably, the program will be promoted nationwide through the Indian government's National Skill Development Corporation.
谷歌产品管理副总裁凯撒•森古普塔指出："预计到2018年，印度开发者人数将达到400万，将超越美国成为全球开发者数量最多的国家。但目前仅有25%的开发者从事移动应用开发。"
Caesar Sengupta, Vice President of Product Management at Google, stated: "India is expected to have 4 million developers by 2018, surpassing the US to become the country with the largest developer population worldwide. However, currently only 25% of developers are working on mobile applications."
森古普塔还强调，谷歌将为数万名印度开发者提供免费课程，最终目标是帮助印度成为全球移动应用开发的领导者。
Sengupta further emphasized that Google will provide free courses to tens of thousands of Indian developers, with the ultimate goal of helping India become a global leader in mobile app development.
值得注意的是，苹果公司也在积极布局印度开发者生态。今年5月，苹果CEO蒂姆•库克在首次正式访问印度期间，就宣布将在印度科技中心班加罗尔设立开发加速器，专门为iOS应用开发提供技术支持。
It's worth noting that Apple is also actively cultivating India's developer ecosystem. In May this year, during his first official visit to India, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the establishment of a Development Accelerator in Bangalore, India's tech hub, to provide technical support specifically for iOS app development.
市场分析机构SimilarWeb产品副总裁助理安吉特•嘉荫对此评论道："从两大科技巨头争夺印度开发者的激烈程度可以看出，印度市场已成为全球科技竞争的新焦点。"
Ankit Jain, Assistant Vice President of Products at market analysis firm SimilarWeb, commented: "The intense competition between these two tech giants for Indian developers shows that the Indian market has become a new focal point in global tech competition."
