Why aren't most of the Windows apps available in India (e.g VLC Beta is not available for Indian Customers)?

[Windows Central Question]

Why most of you apps are not available in India, e.g VLC Beta is not available for Indian Customers

Why do you (Windows) sell your mobile phones in India if you don't allow your consumers to download the important apps, e.g VLC Beta is not available for download in India and there are many more apps which I can't download because of restrictions. This is RIDICULOUS.

Brother you can download vlc from India. You must be using windows phone 7. Its time to update your phone.

No it's not Microsoft 's fault. These apps are region locked because developer is the one who decides whether to release the app in multiple countries or not.

WindowsCentral is a fan site, not affiliated with Microsoft. WindowsCentral has nothing to do with what apps are or are not available in the Windows Phone Store in any country.

Your best option is to post on Uservoice, the official Microsoft site: https://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
