Intel will increasingly focus on new mobile form factors such as tablets and two-in-ones, as it intends to accelerate its growth in India, a top official of the company had said on Tuesday.
“There are over 200 million middle-class potential customers in India alone for different screen sizes across different price points. We are seeing a lot of traction in the 7 to 9 inch space here. We are working with our OEM partners to bring Intel-based tablets starting Rs 10,000. We are also being aggressive in customising our solutions for the enterprises as well as manifesto driven state governments," said Anand Ramamoorthy, Director-Consumption Sales, Intel South Asia.
Intel estimates that the overall tablet demand in Asia-Pacific and Japan will rise 32 per cent year-on-year in 2014. In particular, India, Indonesia, Japan and Australia will equate to 59 per cent of tablet demand.
