"We are aspiring to be top three smartphone players globally and in India. As a part of strategy, the company has been focusing on design and software aspects along with quality. We are building the range in the smart and feature phones," HMD Global Business Head (North and East), Amit Goyal said.

In India, six Nokia-branded smartphones are already available and two more will be available shortly along with five feature phones, he said.

India is the significant contributor to this global sales and the country is already among the top three countries in terms of company's business. India's operation is already profitable," he said but declined to share the sales numbers.

According to Goyal, the company would launch more products in the next few months and deepen its distributors' network.

"We will also continue on focusing feature phones as these account for 50 percent of the India market," he said.
