potentialnew financial backer for Notion Ink identified
Reliance Industries (RIL) has reportedly closed a significant investment in Hyderabad-based Notion Ink, a move that could help RIL garner a substantial share of the Indian broadband market.
Notion Ink, known for its innovative Pixel Qi screen technology, has developed a tablet named Adam, which boasts twice the battery life and performance of the iPad. The Adam tablet, priced at $325, is 36% cheaper than its Apple counterpart.
According to Notion Ink founder, Rohan Shravan, sales of 100,000 devices a month would generate $350 million in revenues. This investment by RIL could provide Notion Ink with the necessary funds to set up its manufacturing and distribution networks.
RIL may bundle the Adam tablet with its broadband services to target high-end users in India, further strengthening its presence in the broadband market. Notion Ink may have chosen RIL as an investor over an international investor due to strategic alignment with a strong local partner, access to the Indian market, potential synergies with RIL's industrial scale and resources, and better navigation of local regulations and business environment.
From Notion Ink's perspective, funds infused by RIL could help in setting up its manufacturing and distribution networks. The Pixel Qi screen technology used in the Adam tablet makes it easier to read under bright light, a feature that could appeal to Indian consumers.
Notion Ink's global ambitions require millions of dollars in funding. By choosing RIL as an investor, Notion Ink may be positioning itself for rapid expansion in the Indian market and potentially beyond. The closed investment could potentially help RIL garner a significant share of the Indian broadband market.
This investment marks a strategic move for both companies, with RIL gaining a potential edge in the broadband market and Notion Ink securing the funds needed for its growth. The partnership could lead to exciting developments in the Indian tech industry.
