[![Google announces seller support in India, lets developers monetize their apps](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/googindia10-18.png) ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/18/google-seller-support-in-india/)
All Wall Street expectations aside, Google appears to be [doing relatively well](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/18/google-q3-2012-earnings-report/) for itself. And while Android may not be the company's largest source of income, _it is_ undoubtedly a [primed possession](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/google-ceo-1-3-million-android-activations-a-day/) to have around -- with that, it's only natural for the Mountain View-based outfit to extend a hand to the abundant amount of folks developing for its open-sourced platform. On this particular occasion, it's devs in India who are on the receiving end of a grand gesture, with Google announcing it's now allowing them to cash in on their applications by adding [in-app purchases](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/02/android-in-app-purchases-hands-on-video/) / [subscriptions](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/google-brings-in-app-subscriptions-to-android/) to ones that are currently free, or simply by selling new, paid app creations on the Play store. [Google](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Google/) says the valuable move was driven by India now being the fourth-largest market for app downloads, and that this is a great way to "help developers capitalize on this tremendous growth."
