It would be through setting up of production units in India, sourcing the parts from within the country, and customization of goods to suit their liking which will be the ensuring. Either through the services of local suppliers or even setting up their own manufacturing plant, these companies are creating jobs and cutting import costs thus leading to growth of the customer-company relationship.
Data Security and Privacy:
With the constant reports about data security and privacy breach, the Chinese smartphone manufacturers must put the highest emphasis to provide strong reassurance and protection in their products and services. Adherence to Indian data protection regulations, ensuring users information confidential is top priority, encryption measures, and secure user consent mechanism are vital to build confidence among Indian consumers.

They are now committed to adhere to green agendas in the whole process from supplier selection to finished products launch. This includes discharging environmentally responsible behaviors in the form of utilization of recyclable materials, low energy consumption, and achieving low level in carbon discharges. The green economy can be achieved by companies through implementation of sustainable manufacturing practices, mitigating environmental footprint and contributing to the initiatives that are aimed at the climate change mitigations.
