For apps aimed at the Indian market, download size is a growth metric rather than a technical detail. Install conversion falls measurably with every few megabytes on mid-range Android over patchy connections, which is the device and network profile most of your users are on.

Yes, and it should be the default assumption rather than a special request. That means testing on the device tier your users actually own, keeping the bundle small, and not assuming a fast, stable connection.
React Native if you need both platforms, share most business logic, and your app is primarily screens and data. Native if you depend heavily on platform-specific hardware, need sustained high-performance graphics, or your team is already native. For most products React Native is the better economic choice.
