So now that Lenovo officially owns Motorola Mobility, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that they would try to shift some of Motorola’s efforts over to China, but hopefully Lenovo recognizes that not only is China a potentially huge market for Motorola, but that they not forget that India is just as big.
According to a recent report from The Economic Times of India, it seems that Motorola is doing pretty well for themselves in the country as they have managed to sell 3 million smartphones since February 2014 last year. Does that come as a surprise? Hardly. You might recall that last year that the Moto G and the Moto E helped Motorola steal market share from Nokia.
Given that the Moto G and Moto E are Motorola’s low-end offerings, it would make perfect sense that they would do well in emerging markets such as India. Heck, even Nokia/Microsoft found a fair bit of success with the low-end Lumia 520 Windows Phone in India, so why shouldn’t Motorola/Android get in on that?
Motorola India’s head of operations Amit Boni also added that the company plans on doubling up their efforts in the country as they are planning on launching their own experience stores across the countries which would also act as service centers, so here’s hoping that they will be able to maintain their momentum.
