A shocking revelation has been made. With the latest update Motorola is all set to discontinue its operation in Asia Pacific region.
Earlier this month, the smartphone maker Motorola announced to axe 20 percent of its global work force and shut one-third of its 94 offices worldwide. According to latest chunk of information, the Google-acquired brand is now shutting down its operations in India. Anonymous resources also confirmed our team that the property of the brand’s R&D facility in Hyderabad had been put up for sale.
However, it is being said that Motorola will continue to sell its products until stock lasts and continue to operate their service stations.
It is reportedly said that the latest job cuts and discontinuation of operation are the first step in Google's plan to reinvent Motorola, which has fallen far behind its biggest competitors, Apple and Samsung.
To rewind: Earlier in August 2011, Google has announced its plans to buy phone-maker Motorola for its 17,000 patents and 7,500 patent applications. Google completed Motorola Mobility for US $12.5 billion in May 2012.
Market experts added, Motorola is leaving its unprofitable markets. Now, it is will follow a new approach, which relies on presenting few high-end phones to the market, instead of dozens.
Seems, Google is trying to shore up its Android mobile business and expand beyond search and software to hardware manufacturing.
