      India the land where growth is huge. Give it 5 years and the labour cost will be a bit higher and the entire west will drop India like a bag of rice.

      I prefer China's growth. At least they have a government which goes a certain direction.

                      There are good reasons why those local brands arent sold elsewhere, very underwhelming and many of their models doesnt even deserve the Smart in smartphone, and much of the rest is pretty much Lumia 520 and low end Samsungs, not exactly the most profitable models.

                      Mindblowing to imagine that 2013 saw the launch of several Android phones in India running Gingerbread 2.3 and had 256MB RAM. This market is quite different from others, late to the game and with incredible many models that arent sellable anywhere else.

                                        Please guys make relevant comments to article. Nothing wrong with these comments but fighting over those comments is totally pointless. Loving country is good thing but you're fighting over such thing is very immature. Also @Ashish/Kerala guy...you all are Indians...why are you fighting over it??

                                        And Micromax just slap their branding over Chinese phones. MMX is just assembly service.
