Finnish company Nokia Technologies will partner with HMD Global to sell its smart health devices under the Withings brand by June in India.
“We are working with HMD as partner... we are putting in place a co-marketing programme. You can expect to see these products in stores along with HMD’s Nokia branded products,” Nokia Technologies Vice-President for Digital Health, Cedric Hutchings, told PTI in an interview.
Nokia acquired Withings in May 2016 for $191 million to launch its Digital Health business. “We made many studies to comprehend that it was the right thing (Withings acquisition by Nokia) to do. In many markets, including India, there is much traction to have these products under the Nokia brand,” Hutchings said.
