When asked about the app’s origins, Khandelwal said that the app’s team is based out of Bangalore and that MitronTV’s initial template was purchased from Envatomarket, an Australian marketplace.
The developers did not reveal the name of the vendor from whom they purchased the source code. Previous reports claimed the seller to be of Pakistani origin.

According to data available on App Brain, the first version of Mitron, an online resource for app developers, went live on Google Play on April 17 and saw the first 100,000 downloads in just seven days.
