We covered the profile of the typical India smartphone user and their usage patterns. We discussed Apple, the Asian OEM brands from China to Korea and local Indian brands and how they are competing in a price sensitive & hyper competitive Indian market. In the same conversation, we examined the recent demonetisation event in India and its implications to the growth of digital payments across India.
