              thefuture, 26 Oct 2017the future of technology is in india. See how the market is... moreNope ! India merely tech user not innovator's, China is the Innovator's, that's why Xiaomi & Huawei outsell Kaboon & Micromax by a few light years, in fact those so called Indian brand is nothing but a re badges low grade China Phone.

              I never seen a India home grown cell phone that can make it to top 10 best seller in wtorld market, While China easily have 5.

              The only 2 things I know India famous of Medicine & Movies, but not technology for sure.

                Always interesting to watch the "Xxx is now in India" articles.

                It seems like the place that is pushing the tech in low cost phones. The buyers obviously are smart and want more out of their phones, but their money is tight.

                  I was thinking for long time India market is second, well at least now I know for sure it is second biggest
