The Hindu
High pent-up demand backed by aggressive promotions in the mid and premium segments
Despite the challenge of component shortage, this festive season promises to be a happy one for the Indian smartphone industry, which is expected to witness record sales driven by high pent-up demand, particularly in the mid and premium segments.
According to research firm Counterpoint, about $7.6-billion worth of smartphones will be sold during the ongoing festive season that kicked off during the first week of October when online platform giants Amazon and Flipkart announced their annual sales and will end on November 4 with Deepavali.
According to BACL, the biophilic-inspired business park will offer smart workspaces within a vibrant public realm. The project’s most exceptional and breathtaking attribute lies in the Urban Forest, a lush oasis in the centre of the development. This green space will serve as a focal point, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the area. The upcoming metro station in Airport City will provide seamless connectivity to the business park from the northern side, ensuring convenient accessibility.
