Pantel Technologies: Connecting India.

According to a Gartner report in September last year, total global tablet sales estimated at 63.6 million for 2011 and as per the trends, it could reach 326.3 million units by 2015. And in India, total sales in 2011 floated in between 150,000 to 180,000 units only. Reason? It is not that the consumer does not understand the tablet pc concept. India is known for its Information Technology knowledge and expertise.  Every day, there are new launches by a domestic or an international brand.  So what is it? What is the reason behind such low sales?

The most evident obstruction is price. India is a price sensitive market. While most, if not all internet tablet pc start at and around Rs 15,000 and go up-to approx. Rs 50,000 price bracket, it remains a dream for a common man to own a tablet. Government did take an initiative of an ultra-low cost tablet with Aakash, for the masses but it remained a dream as well as it never realized. No doubt Aakash 2 has been launched, but due to its older version’s infamy not much is expected out of it as well.

But yes, one thing Aakash has taught the tablet makers is the concept of budget tablets. Though it could never fruitfully achieve it but the model, affordable internet tablet pc for the Indian market, was first thought by Aakash. And now with the edge in technology and research in India as well as in International market, Pantel Technologies is making most of it.
