Nokia, other tech companies ‘incredibly dependent’ on India, says Justin Hotard: Report

NEW DELHI: Global technology companies, including Nokia, are dependent on India as a market and its local talent, according to the Finnish gear maker’s chief executive and president, Justin Hotard.

“There’s a phenomenal opportunity for Europe and hopefully for us as a part of that, to be a more balanced and thoughtful participant and bridge the global South,” Hotard said during a media briefing with Finnish President Alexander Stubb ahead of the opening of Nokia’s new research campus in Oulu, Finland, on Friday.
