Kushwaha appointed country head Kyocera
New Delhi: Kushwaha has been newly appointed as Japanese CDMA handset maker Kyocera's country head in India. Prior to this, he was the vice-president, CDMA Terminals for LG Electronics. Kyocera is said to be planning to set up a manufacturing unit in India.

Even though CDMA handset producers LG and Samsung have been talking about setting up a manufacturing unit in India, nothing concrete has happened. On the other hand, companies such as Nokia have already set up a full-fledged manufactured base in India for GSM handsets and network equipment. The promoter of CDMA technology Qualcomm had recently announced that it would offer incentives to companies setting up manufacturing units for CDMA handset and equipment.

Kushwaha said that Kyocera would launch low-end handsets soon in India to cater to the needs of a price-sensitive market. Kyocera has tie-ups with all the Indian CDMA operators - Reliance Communication, BSNL and Tata Teleservices.
