Can Chinese smartphone makers take on Samsung in India?
The five-kilometre stretch from IFFCO Chowk to Two Horizon Centre — which houses the corporate office of Samsung India — in Gurgaon’s Sector 43 is strewn with pale blue. The billboards along the road are blue, advertising kiosks sprouting all over the Millennium City are painted blue and even Metro pillars strapped with promotional screens are flashing blue, urging users to take selfies with dual-front camera. Asim Warsi, sitting relaxed on the twenty-second floor of Samsung’s office, too, flaunts a particular shade of blue: the reverse side of the visiting card of the senior vice-president of Samsung India is in blue. But it is “Samsung blue”, dark and deep, unlike the light blue of the Chinese smartphone maker Vivo that is splashed across streets and screens.
