i have Developed a small windows Phone 7 app, for our customer[in INDIA]. The Problem is we are giving it free like a goodie for our main site. Is there any way to Upload the app into an Windows Phone without Uploading it to the market place?

To 'Developer Unlock' you need a developer account. And 'Developer unlocking' each user's phone is practically very difficult.
Instead I would suggest you to upload your app to marketplace and share the marketplace link in your site or mail the link to your users.

To put an app on a phone without going through the marketplace, the phone has to be 'developer unlocked'. Once that is done, you can distribute your .xap file to the customer, and they can transfer the file to any developer unlocked phone.
