In his new function, Shah will lead Pixel’s gross sales and enlargement methods throughout India. Previous to this he served as the top of client gross sales for Apple in India.
In a LinkedIn submit on November 27, Shah wrote, “To everybody who has requested me in the previous couple of weeks, why ‘change’ from Apple? This isn’t a change. It is a continuation of the mission of placing the world’s finest know-how within the palms of fellow countrymen and ladies.”
“It is an honour to be a part of an organization that is on the forefront of innovation, and I am notably thrilled to be engaged on a product that has the potential to place the magic and energy of AI within the pockets of thousands and thousands of individuals throughout my beloved nation,” he mentioned. “Pixel is not only one other gadget. It is the platform designed to place the immense energy and potentialities of AI in everybody’s pocket.”
Earlier this 12 months, Google started transport domestically produced Pixel smartphones from its India-based manufacturing strains. In October 2023, Rick Osterloh, Google’s senior vice chairman, introduced the corporate’s collaboration with worldwide and home companions to assemble Pixel units throughout the nation.
“That is an early step in the direction of increasing the manufacturing right here to fulfill the native demand for Pixel units,” Osterloh mentioned on the time.
