Talking about
his vision Jason Wang, Vice President for Emerging Market, Managing Director- India, SHAREit
said, “India has a huge potential to grow as the smartphone penetration is ever
increasing and people have access to unlimited information. India also has a
huge diversity to offer which poses a great opportunity for SHAREit to further
customize and localize their product for the consumers. It currently has over 300million downloads in India which
is almost equal to the cyber population of the country. We have also observed
that Indian users mostly prefer sharing video content, music and less apps and
games. We at SHAREit aim to enable the local consumers through partnership with
local partners.”
