Lava has always been at the forefront of Govt. of India’s “Make in India” initiative. Lava was the first mobile brand to take a lead in support of this important nation-building program and had set up a design team in India, becoming the first brand to design phones in the country. It is having in-house technical department which keep on updating with the latest technology available in market related to mobile industry & recent possessing of DRM & camera algorithm implies their far sightedness towards their products. It has also collaborated with the likes of Nokia & Ericsson in India for their mutually benefits from each other presence by keeping the operational expense at a threshold level. Furthermore, it has unheartened new territory by exporting its material considering the rise in demand of mobile handset products. It is specifically focusing on East Asia & African region to establish their product line.
Indian consumer market is ruled by the likes of Samsung, Vivo, Xiaomi (Poco), Oppo (OnePlus), Realme, etc. which is troublesome for an Indian mobile manufacturer. However, scuffle at the border and government tightening grip on cyber security can bring sanctions on BBK Electronics (parent of Oppo, Vivo, Realme) which will be blessing in disguise for Indian brands to flourish & fill the void. Introduction of 5-G technology, digital revolution & affordable internet will shoot the sales volume of smartphones. This is projected to grow further with rising population & new trend of keeping multiple phones by an individual.
Lava has 9 subsidiaries, 1 joint venture & 1 associate firm.
