Samsung’s Evolution in India: From Technology Provider to Innovator
Since its entry into India in 1995, Samsung has significantly expanded its presence in the country, aligning its growth with India’s rapid digital transformation. Over the past three decades, the company has enhanced its manufacturing capabilities and strengthened its research and design operations, contributing to the local innovation ecosystem.
Park, a representative of Samsung, emphasized that the company’s mission in India transcends mere product sales. He stated, “The story of Samsung in India has never been about selling products. It has been about growing together. But more importantly, we evolved from bringing technology to India to creating technology with India.” This reflects Samsung’s commitment to collaborative innovation in the Indian market.
India has evolved from being a market where global technologies were introduced to a country helping imagine, engineer and develop technology for the world, Samsung South West Asia President and CEO JB Park said as Samsung marks 30 years in India. “Today, we don’t look at India just as a market of 1.4 billion people. “Because the most enduring technologies are not always the ones we build.
“What inspires me most about India is that it constantly exceeds expectations,” Park said. “India challenges us to innovate differently,” Park said. And, there are few places that challenge us to do that better than India,” Park said. People do,” Park said. As Samsung marks three decades in the country, he said the company’s legacy in India should ultimately be measured not only by the products, manufacturing ecosystem and research capabilities it has helped build, but by the people and ideas it has helped nurture. “I don’t believe our legacy will ultimately be defined by the devices we made,” Park said. “If Samsung can play even a small role in helping shape that generation, it would be our greatest achievement in India,” he added.
We see India as a place where the future of technology is being imagined, developed and led. “Building products for a country of this scale and diversity means designing solutions that are intuitive, inclusive and relevant to millions of people with very different needs. Those innovations often go on to benefit consumers around the world. As artificial intelligence transforms consumer technology, Samsung’s engineers in India are also collaborating with global teams to develop next-generation AI experiences. “AI will only be meaningful if it solves real problems for real people. Samsung’s investments in India have also extended beyond manufacturing and R&D to talent, skills, education and innovation. “Technology does not create progress on its own. “We believe human potential is the most important technology platform of all. “I believe it will be defined by the dreams we helped unlock. Sometimes, they are the ideas we ignite in people. Get the latest technology news and updates. Download the TOI App.
