Sunil Raina, President & Business Head of Lava has stated that the company plans to transition its entire portfolio to 5G technology within the next year.
He noted that Lava's focus on the affordable segment, specifically in the price range of Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000, was to bridge the digital divide and ensure that 5G connectivity is not limited to the elite but is available to all.
"The affordable segment of Rs 10,000-15,000 is something that
Lava cracked first with the 5G offering because we want to make 5G accessible to the masses as early as possible. In the next year's time, Lava's entire portfolio will shift to
5G," Raina said in an interview with
CNBC-TV18.
The company also welcomed the government's plan to impose import curbs on laptops, tablets, and personal computers.
Lava's vision for the future also extends to the role of the Indian government. Raina emphasised the need for the government to encourage innovation through research and development (R&D) activities.
