Vivo had 15 per cent market share in the Indian smartphone segment in the first quarter of 2022 with shipment of 5.5 million devices, according to market research and analysis firm IDC.

Danish said that the company’s strategy is to cater to customer needs and be on top of their mind this year to grow the business.
