Focusing on growth targets based on premium products rather
than on India's voluminous price sensitive mass market
Current Strategy
To have greater reach among the masses - not through pricing,
but through product innovation
Superior technology and differentiated products even for the mass
market
Product innovation to the mass categories
• E.g. Easy View feature - a top-end feature developed for the Indian market
Key Learnings
The innovator is not always the market leader
Foreign companies have understood the Indian
consumer better then the Indian companies
