Amazon Quiz: Which company recently appointed Alvin Tse as the General Manager of its India business?

Huawei

Xiaomi

Hyundai

Apple

Answer: Xiaomi

Alvin Tse joined Xiaomi in the role of General Manager of its India business, replacing Manu Kumar Jain. The organizational restructuring also saw Anuj Sharma return as the chief marketing officer. Tse, the Stanford-educated British national, was in charge of Xiaomi’s Indonesian arm of the business as its general manager. 

The company in a statement said, “Post his transition, Alvin will join hands with the Xiaomi India leadership team and support the company’s next phase of growth. Being a British national and true global citizen, Alvin has helped Xiaomi expand successfully into many global markets”, adding, “With their guidance, Xiaomi India will continue to stay true to its core philosophy of relentlessly building amazing products with honest prices such that everyone in the world can enjoy a better lifestyle through innovative technology”. 

Firm veteran Tse is expected to help Xiaomi compete better with other brands like Samsung, and also smoothen the company’s relationship with New Delhi. Despite Xiaomi’s aggressive expansion in India, the company is not impervious to the geopolitical tension that exists between the world’s largest democracy and China. 

In 2020, India banned around 200 apps with links to China, and Xiaomi’s apps were blacklisted as well. In an effort to continue business in the country, the company rebranded its stores and positioned itself as an Indian firm. 

Tse is an angel investor in many Indian startups and was also involved in Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco, which later went off as an independent business.
