Yes, there are headwinds, economic challenges but specifically from an India standpoint we have had a series of amazing successful launches. We feel this is going to be one of the best years for Oppo in India," Khanoria said.

According to CounterPoint Research, Oppo recorded a 9 per cent growth year-over-year and occupied fourth spot with market share of 12 per cent in the March 2023 quarter.

The brand has been consistently expanding its shipments in the high-tier segments, with a particular focus on the upper mid-tier range (Rs 20,000-Rs 30,000), where it saw the highest growth among all brands, registering 144 per cent YoY growth driven by the F series.
