Is a D-U-N-S number required to publish from India?
A D-U-N-S number is required only for organisation (company) accounts, not for personal/individual developer accounts. Indian companies can request a free D-U-N-S number from Dun & Bradstreet, which can take up to 30 days. If you are an individual developer, you skip D-U-N-S entirely and verify with your personal identity instead.
