Together, the two companies have established a joint venture worth more than <\/span>$100 million, aimed at making India a <\/span>global production and export hub for Nothing and CMF products.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This venture is expected to generate <\/span>over 1,800 new jobs in India within the next three years, supporting the vision of <\/span>\u2018Make in India\u2019 and <\/span>\u2018Atmanirbhar Bharat\u2019 by showcasing local talent and innovation on a global stage.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Nothing\u2019s CEO, <\/span>Carl Pei<\/strong><\/a>, emphasized India\u2019s importance in shaping the future of the global smartphone industry. He stated that CMF\u2019s growing popularity since its inception gives the brand the right foundation to become India\u2019s first truly global smartphone name.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To date, Nothing has already invested <\/span>more than $200 million in India<\/strong>, further solidifying the country as a cornerstone of its global expansion strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Ashok Gupta, Executive Chairman of Optiemus, highlighted how this collaboration will not only enhance manufacturing but also establish India as a source of <\/span>export-ready, globally competitive technology products<\/strong>. The partnership aims to bring innovation and advanced design capabilities to India\u2019s tech ecosystem, while also contributing significantly to local employment and skills development.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This announcement comes on the heels of several India-focused decisions by Nothing. The company has already <\/span>shifted CMF\u2019s global marketing operations to India and appointed <\/span>Himanshu Tandon<\/strong><\/a> as VP of CMF Business. Additionally, the company\u2019s recent <\/span>$200 million Series C funding round, led by Tiger Global and joined by investor Nikhil Kamath, valued the company at <\/span>$1.3 billion, strengthening its ability to scale globally.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The transformation of CMF into an independent subsidiary with <\/span>India at its global centre marks a pivotal moment for both Nothing and the Indian smartphone industry. Through its <\/span>$100 million joint venture with Optiemus, CMF is not only set to become <\/span>India\u2019s first global smartphone brand but also contribute significantly to the country\u2019s role as a hub for innovation, manufacturing, and exports.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This milestone aligns with India\u2019s ambition to be at the forefront of global technology manufacturing, positioning CMF as a brand that could redefine India\u2019s presence in the international smartphone market.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Latest Technology News | Updates<\/a> | Latest Electric Vehicle News | Updates<\/a> | Electronics News<\/a> | Mobile News | Updates<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n \n Facebook<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | WhatsApp Channel<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Telegram<\/a> | Threads<\/a> | LinkedIn<\/a> | YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Stay informed, Stay Connected!<\/p>\n The post CMF set to emerge as India\u2019s first global smartphone brand with $100M Optiemus JV, R&D and manufacturing hub in India<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 London-based tech company Nothing has officially announced a major restructuring of its sub-brand CMF, spinning it off into an independent subsidiary.
