Sony Looks To Tap India's Small Cities, Affordable Segment
Google’s Android One, rolled out for India and other counties such as Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines, helped players like Micromax, Karbonn and Spice sell smartphones starting at Rs 6,399. Currently, Sony mobile handsets are available in India at Rs 10,000 upwards. When asked if Sony would also consider setting up manufacturing plant in India, with the government making a pitch for Make in India, he said the company was keeping its options open. ”In all of our overseas initiatives, we are always in talks to make an India strategy, what is the best formation? We are always in continuous talks on what is the best option.
At this point of time we don’t have a manufacturing facility in India but in future, we will consider but no decision has been taken yet,” Hibi said.
