The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Nokia is the biggest player in Indian mobile phone market. Nokia officials have started to take India seriously in the last few years. They know that Indian market will have healthy expansion for sometime and India is a great place for outsourcing. This understanding has helped Nokia a lot. I am happy to see that Nokia is having its first design studio in India.

The Hindu reported:

Finland's Nokia today announced opening its first satellite design studio here, signalling the growing importance the world's biggest mobile handset maker attaches to India.

The studio, also the company's first anywhere in the world, will explore a range of design trends and themes, including detailed research into colour and material trends in India. It will also study use of mobiles for Internet in India and its implications for design, and examine innovative new features and uses for mobiles.

This is a good move from Nokia. Now, I would like to see other top mobile companies take India more seriously.
