International players have come out with new inventions- whether its new products or gadgets that have brought about a revolution in India. These players have cached on to the niche audiences who have the spending power. On the other hand, Indian players have made a significant mark in the industry with their vast product offerings. This technological boom has caught the frenzy of people and people are exposed to the world of technology like never before. First it was the advent of radio and television, then came in feature phones and now it’s the era of smart phones and tablets where many players have jumped the bandwagon with their unique offerings.

Talking about tablets, many budget tablet manufacturers have been able to reach the masses at large and now the trend has been seen even in the rural areas. Tablet sales are soaring in the Tier II and Tier III cities with many players targeting the middle class who seek value for money products.
