Ø GOI will come out
with a tender for 5
million Aakash Tablets by end of this month
Ø All the tablets
will have to be supplied by Dec
2013
Ø The UPA hopes to
woo young voters and their families with this scheme before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections
Ø Almost 600,000 tablets need to
be delivered EACH month, between April-Dec 2013, by multiple vendors
This
tender will possibly witness :
·
Some
mergers & acquisitions
amongst tablet manufacturers
·
Emergence
of “ Consortiums of
Manufacturers “
·
Jumping
into fray by some leading Indian
Smart phone manufacturers ( since they might be better placed to
re-configure their smart phone assembly lines to assemble tablets )
·
Setting
up of local assembly lines by leading foreign manufacturers ( who have their eyes glued to the
expected tender for 400 million smart phones
that GOI wants to distribute free to “ Poor “ Aadhar card holders )
This
is going to be a “ Mother
of all Battles “ which will decide the contours of India’s mobile
devices industry
With
regards,
hemen
parekh
Jobs
for All = Peace on Earth
