4Ps B&M: How is the smartphone market in India shaping up and how are you placed in the same?JT: Well, right now, India is the ideal market to be introducing smartphones in, as the market is growing quite rapidly and there is a strong demand for the phones that enable people to do more than just talking. HTC is a strong player in terms of data capable devices and we believe that the market would keep growing given the fact that 3G would be launched shortly in the country. As a matter of fact, we are quite bullish about the entire APAC region and India is a very important market for us in this region.
4Ps B&M: What are the other devices that would be offered by HTC in the immediate future? Any plans to get the second Android phone in soon?
JT: Well, we are looking at launching many devices that we have in the international market, in India too. You would see some of them shortly. But how many of them would be launched would depend on the market performance and the response our existing devices get. As for the other Android devices, that too would depend upon the response for HTC Magic and the market behaviour.
4Ps B&M: What sets apart HTC devices from all others in the market?
JT: Well, we may not have as many devices as some of our competitors, but we do have a robust portfolio in the segment we operate in and our strength lies in not the number of devices that we offer but the ease of use and innovations that we are able to offer to the end consumers. We don’t believe in packing features, but add things that would be relevant to the customers and make his mobile experience faster or simpler or both.
