That’s what Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw hinted at recently. And it’s not just Apple. Google is also eyeing India to manufacture its export-bound devices, possibly ditching China by 2027. But here’s the twist: the government is quietly backing three homegrown smartphone brands, expected to emerge in just 10-14 months. These aren’t startups; they’re serious players prepping to compete across budget, mid, and premium segments. What’s more? To qualify for incentives, they’ll need to bring IP and design; not just assemble parts. This is more than a policy shift; it’s a long game to make India not just a factory, but a design and innovation hub in tech. If it works, your next smartphone might be truly Indian-made; inside and out. #MakeInIndia #SmartphoneRevolution #TechJobs #AppleIndia #GoogleIndia
