Oppo takes IoT, services route to grow business: India President

Chinese smartphone maker Oppo expects the Covid-19 supply chain disruption to end in a week or two. In an interview with Danish Khan, Oppo India president Elvis Zhou said the company plans to start exporting from its under-construction manufacturing facility. It is also planning to open a 5G lab in Hyderabad. Edited excerpts:

Have you devised a new strategy for the market here?

In the coming three to five years, we will be more focused on three main areas. The first is R&D and innovation. Soon, we will launch a big communication lab for 5G to drive in-house research on 5G in Hyderabad. We are starting to build a multi-device ecosystem. In the next two to three months, we are going to launch our first wireless earphone and smartwatch.
